You wouldn't be able to breath and would lose consciousness. The potassium stops your heart. Again, without oxygen, you would quickly lose consciousness. The potassium would probably cause a burning sensation, but again, without oxygen, you lose consciousness and any discomfort would not last long. It is still a lot less painful then most of us will experience in our own "natural" deaths. The curare paralyses your diaphram. You wouldn’t be able to breath and would lose consciousness.

I happened across this article about this particular murder and became curious, not being from Texas, its the first Id heard of it. So I did research and concluded that if there ever was a justification for the death penalty, this crime (and criminals) is the one. Only those who dont approve of the death penalty in general would object to this spawn of the devil execution. There are just no words of comfort suitable to say to those kids families, even after this long time, Ill just say I hurt for them when I read of the terrible suffering they had to endure. Which brings me to a hypothetical question> I wonder what the effects would be of leaving out the first part of the Lethal injection (the one that sedates and renders unconscious) and just using the other 2 drugs, maybe that would be more what these animals deserve. Make no mistake, their soul is required in hell, I would just like the trip there as painful as possible I dont usually post in blogs, or read them either for that matter.

At age 18 he already had 3 notches on his belt. If he had not been caught when he was, he would undoubtedly murdered more innocent people. If he had received life or lwop (if he had been eligible), he would still commit murderer -- either inside prison and/or when he was released. The only thing stopping him was keeping him isolated on death row and executing him. O’Brien was an interupted serial rapist/murderer. At age 18 he already had 3 notches on his belt.

By what perverse standards can such an evil conglomeration of protoplasm as Derrick O'Brien and friends be considered 'wonderful'? I am a very tolerant person. I have rescued snakes in the middle of roads and don't mind the possums sharing the cat food for my pets. I donate to charities and have done a variety of volunteer work. But for the likes of Derrick, the only effort that I would join would be tying of a hangman's not if more appropriate punishment for his kind was restored. Perhaps if the Derricks of the world were raping and murdering the daughters of thug-hugging judges and the liberal politicians who gave them their jobs we hight see the pendulum of justice swing the other way. As for those who want to keep Derrick around for a while, remember that there is a reason why we flush toilets.

Who cares about what they will feel, as far as I'm concerned they should suffer the way Ertman & Pena did. There are no winners in this, but they must all pay for their crimes; I think they should be executed, no matter how old they were at the time. They all need to take it like a MAN, step up to the plate Bud!!! It's time, and I'm glad. These girls did not deserve this, they had their entire life taken away, for what? My heart goes out to the Pena & Ertman families, and as a mom, if O'Brien has a mom, what can I say, your children are your children and you will or should always love, but gee's I would be ashamed of my son for the way he lived his life. You don't have to have money and an education to be a good person and live a good life, we're in complete control of our destiny and now it's time to pay the price, with his life. I have a real problem with people who say that God will forgive our sins. Really, He shouldn't; what these so called men did is un-forgivable; they should suffer forever!!!

Yippppiiieeeee! Good riddance to bad rubbish. Too bad the rest of them including the one's that beat the DP aren't right alongside him. Amazing how cowardly these bold killers are when it comes to their own death. They fight tooth and nail to delay the arrival of the Grim Reaper. Too bad they didn't feel that way about their victims.

Today is the day! I remember this story like it was yesterday - but it isn't yesterday. It's taken 13 long years to get here.

They get paid a pittance…many funding the work from their own pockets.</blockquote> I guess it depends on how you define pittance. I have several friends who handle capital cases. The pay is $130/hr plus expenses or a lump sum of $141k to $327k depending on the complexity made in 11 payments . The families of Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman have made it quite clear that they will be much happier when the murderers of their daughters are executed. I couldn't care less about the families of O'Brien, et. al.
