“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

Use a bolt gun. It is good enough for the cows and pigs it is fast, it probably hurts but likely less time than even a needle.

I suggest starting by testing it out on the person that though slow suffocation for 25 minutes was humane.
