  1. He got to live for 35 years longer than the woman he killed. I don’t think anyone should feel sorry for him….Justice finally for his VICTIM…..

  2. People ask why does death sentences takes so long, lets remember that quite of few executions killed innocent people so denying ones right is very unconstitutional, i pray for thoses souls that believe that the death penalty is a must yall are killers as well

  3. Shameful comments, I feel bad for everyone involved we as society act upon emotions and not on forgiveness too much, a state that kills one that kills someone isn't justified in gods eyes, with this I pray for everyone

  4. Wawawawawa sticking up for murders makes you worse

  5. WOW 🙏🏽The son with those humbling words🙏🏽You can tell he has truly learned to remove the anger from his heart over the years. Blessings to the family 🙏🏽

  6. When China is more humane than the US…

  7. If he survived the 1st attempt at execution, I would think he could've argued that he fulfilled his sentence the 1st time and survived. Why doesnt 2nd attempt go against double jeopardy. He was put through the death sentence, after giving up wouldn't that count as fulfilling his sentence?
    This is just creepy and freaky IMO

  8. Do any of those who think this was cruel feel the same way about the crime Smith committed?

  9. True face of US DEMONcracy and "humanity" !!

  10. What I want to know is why? When the massive amounts of fentanyl being confiscated daily in our nation & a small amount would be sufficient. I take this stance as a person whose spouse of 30 yrs was murdered. Forgiveness is the only way but of course not forgetfulness.

  11. Once again….. NBC promotes their propaganda.

  12. He complained during the execution that this was a step backwards, then 20 minutes later he died and the state took two steps forward.

  13. .#zZz#.⚡⬆️⬇️💀☢☣ЭКСПЕРЕМЕНТ – УДАЛСЯ???!.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀⚡🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫💀💀💀💀💀💀💀⚡⚡⚡

  14. Her son's words blessed me. You can tell the Word of God is his foundation.

  15. The government mouthpiece who first spoke for the state is a lying liar.

  16. He was also convulsing on the table for 2 minutes 😳

  17. Was the person he killed a cop??????

  18. God is watching,God will judge you on Judgement day.

  19. We are supposed to care that he had a traumatic death. What about his victim? Do you think she suffered?

  20. Never once a mention of the victims murdered by these psychopaths

  21. Appears that agony and torture were "expected side effects" according to Alabama officials. That kind of response raises concerns of whether or not 'tests' were performed to ascertain the possibly documented "side effects". One recently demonstrated to be death. That being said, the death sentence was carried out against a convicted killer.

  22. Where is forgiveness and mercy ? Are you proud of your evil deed? Shame on you ! That is murder . America 🇺🇸 this is not right !!!

  23. This is absolutely pathetic putting this type of thing on YouTube…kids can access this and not understand …but no one expects anything other than America to do this type of thing..after all America is the crime country of the world…even worse they try to portray themselves as good god faring christians but that’s just a ruse…they love guns and violence..just watch the tv shows and movies they make and there’s your answer right there…violence abounds.

  24. American exceptionalism
