Charles Warner Case

Eye for an Eye December 2nd, 1982 was when the state of Texas took the life of Charles Brooks, Jr. Texas was the first state of the United States to use lethal injection to carry out the death penalty, the amount of executions in the United States has held since 1976 is over 1,429. Since 1976, we’ve dwindled on our Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishment. Jeffrey Landrigan had his life taken by lethal injection on October 6th, 2011. Ryan Charles, the director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, was in a hustle two days before the
He was executed with a three drug cocktail also used in Florida. Charles Warner was asked for his final statement and he replied, "Before I give my statement, I'll tell you they poked me five times. It hurt. It feels like acid." Warner also apologized to his family for everything he did to them. "I'm not a monster. I didn't do everything they said I did,” Warner said. His execution lasted eighteen minutes, and Warner said his body felt like it was on fire.Warner was pumped with the wrong chemical known as potassium acetate, which changes the body's fluid to a physical property. March 17th, 2014 is when Charles Warner was considered a botched execution
He was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Steckel was being strapped down to the table and being inserted with an IV. That’s when the horrendous murder started happening. The machine that pumps the fluid into Steckels body malfunctioned and the IV blocked the secondary sedative that didn’t release into Steckel, which left him conscious when the other chemicals were released through his body. When the potassium chloride sets, it stops your heart. Steckel felt like his veins were being set on fire so he looked at the warden and said, “I didn’t think it would take this long.”
