The state of Arizona executed Joseph Wood on Wednesday. It took him nearly two hours to die after his veins were injected with a novel combination of two drugs. His slow death is fueling a debate that has kicked up as states look for new drug alternatives for lethal injections. Did the execution with the new combination amount to "cruel and unusual punishment" and violate his constitutional rights? It did, say Wood's lawyers. One of them called it "bungled" and "botched." The state of Arizona disagrees. A relative of the two people Wood was convicted in 1989 of murdering -- his estranged girlfriend and her father -- didn't think he suffered and also got what he deserved.
