Abstract
Arizona's recent botched execution of Joseph Wood is the latest in a series of horrific events demonstrating that lethal injection is a profoundly flawed method for carrying out capital punishment. Similar to Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma and Dennis McGuire in Ohio, Wood endured excruciating suffering during the hour and 52 minutes it took for the drugs administered by the state's executioners to end his life.
