I am glad he did not die a quiet peaceful death. Unfortunately he probably did not realize he was squirming like a worm just before you stick a fishing hook in to one. If we are going to kill the killers why should it be "humane". If someone tells you "I am going to blow you brains out" that is a humane death as there is no suffering. As the victims often wait in terror before the killer kills then the killer should experience the same trauma. Waiting a decade or more to execute someone is the stupidest single part of our penal system. How many appeal t do the victims get other than begging for the murderers not to shoot?
Me too. That asshole felt no remorse and neither do I for him. He shot two people in cold blood after what sounds like repeated domestic offenses against her and we are supposed to feel bad his execution was prolonged? As if!
Arizona execution takes nearly 2 hours - The Washington Post
He was convicted of fatally shooting Dietz and her father, 55-year-old Gene Dietz, at their auto repair shop in Tucson.
Wood and Debbie Dietz had a tumultuous relationship during which he repeatedly assaulted her. She tried to end their relationship and got an order of protection against Wood.
On the day of the shooting, Wood went to the auto shop and waited for Gene Dietz, who disapproved of his daughter’s relationship with Wood, to get off the phone. Once the father hung up, Wood pulled out a revolver, shot him in the chest and then smiled.
Wood then turned his attention toward Debbie Dietz, who was trying to telephone for help. Wood grabbed her by the neck and put his gun to her chest. She pleaded with him to spare her life. An employee heard Wood say, “I told you I was going to do it. I have to kill you.” He then called her an expletive and fired two shots in her chest.
