This just makes me sick to my stomach. I’d be against the death penalty regardless of this situation, but it certainly confirms that my feelings are 100% correct.

Despite his comments:

But Newton, who had insisted on the death penalty as punishment and made no attempt to appeal, chatted and laughed with prison staff throughout the delay. It took so long that the staff paused to allow Newton a bathroom break.

So, basically because he decided to not appeal the state allowed this man to commit suicide. How on earth as a civil society can we let this happen? We need to stop state sponsored killing.
