Murdered by Medicine: Pentobarbital and Lethal Injection

“As the injection began, Blankenship jerked his head toward his left arm and began rapidly blinking. He then lurched toward his right arm, lunging twice with his mouth wide open as if he were gasping for air. A minute later, he pushed his head forward while mouthing inaudible words. His eyes never closed.

The movements stopped within three minutes, and he was declared dead 12 minutes later.”

Thus went the June 2011 execution of Roy Willard Blankenship.
