The current law states that if the lethal injection procedure is ever found to be unconstitutional the electric chair may be used. Fire that thing up. There are 40+ people that have been sentenced to death that need to go.

What does "separating the branches of government" have to do with taking the trash out? Lord help us; our "leaders" and "justices" are almost as slimey as the garbage they are protecting.

When you have garbage in your state that stabs 2 litte girls to death, you NEED the death penalty on the menu! To our state "leaders" - grow a pair for a change!

Lets get this figure out ASAP. Write a law that can be enforced, make it where executions can be carried out and make it where it cant be challenged in court. Its past time Arkansas gets off of its butt and start punishing criminals.
