The lethal injection in the botched Oklahoma execution was given through the inmate’s groin after a specialist could not find a good spot on his arms, legs or feet, the state’s prison chief revealed Thursday.

Clayton Lockett’s legal team denounced the method as “invasive and painful,” speculated that it was done incorrectly and accused the state of trying to “whitewash” the death-row debacle.Lockett’s death has renewed debate over the use of lethal injections amid drug shortages that have forced states to come up with new execution formulas.

Oklahoma was trying a new drug protocol on Lockett, who raped one woman, shot another and ordered two accomplices to bury her alive.

We live in a wacky world my friends. Do we need to go back to hangings?

Just give him the same as he gave his victim.

Better yet, hold a lottery to determine who gets to rape and kill him.

The benefits go to Tea Party candidates.

You might be onto some kind of bread and circuses thing, Forbes. As a para-lawyer, you should have the legal knowledge that, combined with JustFreedManMe's innate misdirecting showmanship skills, could get it legislated in the double-digit IQ legislatures of most southern states.

And you could televise the rape/executions on the Fox News! You guys need a fresh hit TV show seeing that Duck Dynasty plunged into the ratings anus after their leader spoke a little too graphically about conservative men's love for the male anus (JustFreedManMe stills gets a wagglin' stiffie when he thinks about plundering that forbidden target).

News outlets were running extensive coverage on the execution problem.

The victim, buried alive?

Barely mentioned.

For liberals, all accused people are innocent, which is why the absurd chain of cases such as Escobedo and Gideon and Miranda came about.

It is indeed a sad sign of the times when the murder gets more sympathy than the person he raped and then buried alive, liberals have turned him to the victim because his execution took a few minutes longer than usual. Wacky, I tell you, just plain wacky.

They should have send him to Texas.....we know how to take care of such things here.

[RealJustme]

The arresting officer should have shot him when he reached for...what ever he was thinking about reaching for. He raped and buried a woman alive, he deserves no sympathy.

Obama now wants the death penalty throughout the country to be reviewed. Waste of more taxpayer money.

You have to love this politician!

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said on Monday her state had "lawfully carried out a sentence of death" in a botched execution that has been widely criticized as cruel and inhumane.

"Justice was served," Fallin, a Republican, wrote in a monthly column. "The people of Oklahoma do not have blood on their hands."

Convicted murderer and rapist Clayton Lockett, 38, died of an apparent heart attack on April 29 some 43 minutes after the lethal drugs was first administered.

A prison report said the botched execution was largely due to a collapsed vein during the injection and that the needle was inserted in Lockett's groin instead of his arm after prison officials used a stun gun to restrain him.

Fallin said people needed to be reminded of Lockett's crimes, which included robbery, rape and murder in a 1999 crime spree.

Among his crimes were shooting a 19-year-old girl and then helping to bury her alive in a shallow grave, where she died.

President Barack Obama said something went terribly wrong. The White House and United Nations said it was below humane standards.

Obama said the botched execution in Oklahoma raised questions about the death penalty in the United States and that he would ask the U.S. attorney general to look into the situation.
