Why was this execution particularly cruel?

It is difficult to determine the specific context of the execution you are referring to as there have been numerous instances of cruel executions throughout history. However, executions are generally deemed cruel when they involve prolonged suffering, torture, or extreme methods that go beyond the intended purpose of punishment. The cruelty may be subjective in nature as it depends on cultural norms and perceptions of what is considered humane.


Is lethal injection murder?

I believe not. In Texas, years ago, our execution method was changed from the electric chair to lethal injection on the grounds that electrocution was cruel and unusual. If I understand lethal injection , there is no pain involved. The only question is that of whether or not execution itself is cruel or unusual. Is it unusual? No. People have been executed through the ages and will be executed for all time to come. Is it cruel? I say no. There is no pain inolved.


Why is death by firing squad not cruel and unusual?

No. Though it has rarely been used outside of wartime, no case has ever been successfully brought against the practice in the United States. It has only ever been used as a method of execution in 4 states, is no longer used in 2 of those, and is only currently a backup option to lethal injection in 2. The U.S. Supreme Court has only once heard the case that the firing squad is cruel and unusual, and in that case, Wilkerson v. Utah (1878), the Court found that the firing squad did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The last case of firing squad execution in the United States was in Utah in 1996 and was elected by the condemned. Utah removed the option for firing squad execution in 2004. A 1993 survey suggested that Firing Squad was more painful to the condemned only than execution by lethal injection, below electrocution, the second most common method of execution in the United States.

What did our founding fathers consider cruel and unusual punishment for death penalty crimes?

Beaten to death, put in a pen with wild, carnivorous animals, cutting off appendages a little at a time, "the rack", being tied to a post until death. In general, it would consist of any of the tortures that were used in European dungeons or a Roman Coliseum. Cruel and unusual did not only apply to death penalty, it also included torture to force confessions because it was recognized that with enough torture ANYONE could be forced to confess to ANY CRIME. Answer My understanding was that, at that time, hanging was by far the most common method of capital punishment in the colonies, and later the United States. For quite a while before then, there had been a movement afoot to make capital punishment as humane as possible. At the time, hanging was the quickest, most efficient, most humane, and least humiliating method of execution available. My guess is that they would view a method of execution as "cruel and unusual" if it was more painful and degrading than it needed to be, and/or simply inflicted pain for its own sake.
