5 years ago A Tumour on His Neck Could Burst



Murderer Russell Earl Bucklew is executed by lethal injection at the age of 51 in Potosi Correctional Center, Bonne Terre, Missouri, United States.


Bucklew had argued for months that the death penalty would qualify as cruel and unusual punishment due to blood-filled tumours that had grown in his head, neck and throat. He argued that a tumour on his neck could burst when given lethal injection and cause him to choke on his own blood.
