    Billy Ray Irick “experienced the feeling of choking, drowning in his own fluids, suffocating, being buried alive, and the burning sensation caused by the injection of the potassium chloride.”https://usat.ly/2CFyXXc

        Poor old Billy Ray. But it’s probably nothing in comparison with the pain experienced by the parents and family of Paula Dyer after he murdered their 7 year old Daughter...!

        What is wrong with this country? This "man" RAPED and KILLED a 7yr old little girl. WTF!! He should have been killed decades ago. Preferably in a very gruesome manner. Who has an issue with this. My only issue is that he's been alive so long. Victim only got 7yrs.

        We keep them alive so lawyers can charge taxpayers $1000 an hour to defend them and the media can put their spin on how misunderstood their lives have been. Society as a whole as been responsible.

        I have an idea. stop the cable tv, the 30k$ a year and the private cells and heating and A/C. Put them on a island in the pacific and let them rot. After a few years of bleeding hearts not wanting to visit the other criminals will reconsider murder and other crimes.

        Billy Ray Irick should have experienced those symptoms before he died. His victims undoubtedly experienced the same symptoms when he was killing them. Our justice department should pay less attention to their lawyers whining and more attention to keeping the line moving.

        I think @WillCeltic1940 summed it up pretty nicely. The murderer and rapist lived 33 years after torturing that little girl Paula Dyer. I guess after all those years a lot of people’s pain subsided. I bet her brothers have not forgotten her screams and their pain is still raw.

        The death penalty is meant to kill not relax people. He suffered, what about the person he killed.

        Wait, if someone is being executed, they murdered someone else... why should anyone be concerned with the method of execution when they themselves did the same to another?? A pat on the hand? No.

        Oh, well. He didn't offer his young victim any mercy. Screw him. This is how New Mexico needs to take care of the scumbags that killed Victoria, Omaree, Jeremiah, Briana, Ariana, Emma Rose, Abdul-ghani, Leland, Christopher Flores, and the countless other children murdered.

        Your story neglects to mention he RAPED and MURDERED a SEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL. She felt pain. He did not deserve a peaceful death - think about her death she was tortured! You didn't mention HER!
