Cruel &&' Unusual. wow!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Lawyers plan to file state and federal lawsuits today aimed at stopping next week's new attempt at executing an Ohio inmate.

Romell Broom's lethal injection was unsuccessful on Tuesday, as executioners tried for two hours to find a vein they could use. Governor Ted Strickland ordered a one-week reprieve.

Cleveland attorney Tim Sweeney argues that a second try at putting Broom to death is unconstitutional. Sweeney says at the very least, Strickland should further delay the execution.

Late yesterday, a federal judge agreed to give lawyers challenging Ohio's lethal injection system in an unrelated lawsuit more time to gather information related to the Broom case. A federal public defender says he plans to interview Broom on Monday.

MY THOUGHTS:
so i heard about this like last weekend on one of the news channels,
and they were like we apologize to the inmate for the unsuccessful injection.
I'm like woah! So the state of Ohio is basiacally trying to put him to death again, but the prisoner's attorney says its cruel &&' unusual punishment.
My stand point on this topic is although I do not believe in the death penatly whole heartedly, after hearing the crime he committed which was, that he raped a 14yr old girl and then stabbed her mutiple times. Then yeah you should try to inject him again...and again....and again. He's sentence to death. So he has to follow out on his sentence. Cruel...no not really....but Super Unusual!
