Victim Likely Suffered More Than Criminal

To The Editor Of The Day:

Gee, it's too bad that the execution of Angel Nieves Diaz in Jacksonville, Fla., was “botched” and he had to suffer some. Admittedly, nobody knows the extent of his “suffering,” but what about the man he murdered? I'm pretty sure he suffered a lot more than did Mr. Diaz.
Mr. Diaz's niece said, “The excruciating pain and torture my uncle went through for 34 minutes — he was literally crucified.”
Florida, beware. It sounds to me as though you are probably going to be in for a substantial lawsuit. Oh, well, perhaps she needs the money.
