Wash. Supreme Court lifts stay of execution for Brown
Associated Press
OLYMPIA — The state Supreme Court has lifted the stay of execution for Cal Coburn Brown.
The high court unanimously ruled today that Brown’s claims that the state’s execution process is unconstitutional was moot because of a recent change made by the state Department of Corrections.
Earlier this year, the state changed its method of execution from a three-drug cocktail to a one-drug system. Last year, the high court issued the stay just hours before Brown was set to die for torturing and killing a Burien woman in 1991. The state can now reschedule the execution, but the earliest it could happen is September.

Sick and tired of how these murderers have rights that allow them to cry if the method used causes pain. Name one victim that these animals gave that option to.
Make the death penalty hurt, make it last and allow them to think of the pain their victim(s) went through.

Making it last and allowing them to think of the pain of their victims (if you think they do that) is life in prison without parole.
The death penalty is not the mark of a civilized society.

Too much time and too much money being spent on these animals and their lawyers. Life in prison is just me paying for someone who doesn’t belong in society. Kill and be killed ! and Soon.
