Nebraska uses fentanyl for first time in execution
Fox News reports Nebraska’s first execution since 1997 was carried out today, using a lethal combination of elements never before administered in the state.
Double murderer Carey Dean Moore, 60, was pronounced dead at 10:47 a.m. after being injected with a lethal drug combination that included the powerful opioid fentanyl.
Moore was convicted in 1979 for the murder of two cabdrivers in Omaha.
Prosecutors said that at the age of 21, Moore fatally shot Reuel Van Ness during a robbery with his younger brother, using the money to buy drugs and pornography.
Moore then fatally shot Maynard Helgeland by himself five days later, saying he wanted to prove he could take a man’s life by himself. Moore was arrested, charged and convicted of first-degree murder, while his 14-year-old brother was convicted of second-degree murder.
The Nebraska drug protocol called for an initial IV dose of diazepam, also known as Valium, to render the inmate unconscious, followed by the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, then cisatracurium besylate* to induce paralysis and inhibit respiration, and potassium chloride to stop the heart.
After each injection, prison officials sent saline through the IV to flush out any residue and ensure that all the drugs had entered the inmate’s system.
Well yippy yi yo. Nebraska, after nearly 40 years, sends a double murderer off to the great beyond using a street junkie’s favorite. All this IV dose of this, then that, drug interspersed with a saline flush could be bypassed with a single 230 gn semi-jacked hollow point administered at high moderate velocity right behind the ear. Messy, but doesn’t Nebraska have other death row inmates, just sitting around?
*has the effect as a neuromuscular-blocking drug or skeletal muscle relaxant in the category of non-depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drugs, used adjunctively in anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. There, I feel better now.

Ever notice in these lethal injections that before the tech makes the stick and starts a line, the area is wiped with a moist alcohol towelet.Protocol I presume. Well mr. moore won’t be around any moore.
The alcohol wipe is so he won’t get infected lol…..who said rationally is still alive in this zoo?
Spot on AW1Ed, spot the f*** on.
It’s a crying shame that the poor families and the fine people of Nebraska had to wait 4 GD decades for their justice.
I hope this brings everyone closure.
Seriously Nebraska, step it up.
Indeed, Nebraska, install an express lane.
It is a freaking CRIME, 40 years of feeding that vermin….the a.h. should have been hung by the neck THAT WEEK!!!
And the irony is:
“Doctors Raise Alarm About Shortages Of Pain Medications”
“In hospitals across the country, anesthesiologists and other doctors are facing significant shortages of injectable opioids. Drugs such as morphine, Dilaudid and fentanyl are the mainstays of intravenous pain control and are regularly used in critical care settings like surgery, intensive care units and hospital emergency departments…”

Nebraska, you are so wrong…

In a related story, Michael Jackson said of the recent execution in Nebraska, “I could have shown you how to do this years ago”.
That’s just wrong. Funny, but wrong.
Here to serve!
MCPO OUT!
Is it true that all of his estate was donated to the “Ignited Negro College Fund”?
I have had that drug before surgery, it is way too much fun to have it wasted on this shitbag! What’s wrong with a nice stiff rope and a high tree? And an added plus, it can be used over and over again!!
INCF? You may be thinking of Richard Pryor:
“When you’re running down the street …. on fire…”
…
“People get out of your way.”
11B, you are forgetting the Pepsi commercial he did where his hair caught fire, this was after the Richard Pryor incident.
Right on, excellent prescription LOL
What about a 30-06 in the center of mass? Simple enough, sit the target in a chair with a good backstop behind it.
Amen.
Once upon a time, a firing squad, here I Colorado I believe, was made up of 5 men with lever action .30-30’s.. three with live rounds, two with blanks…I was told the Theory was that way, none of the shooters knew if they actually shot the condemned.
a theory drawn up by someone who has never actually fired a live or a blank round. there is a very large difference in recoil impulse.
the way I heard it was that the individual rifleman wouldn’t know who fired the terminal round.
I used to be 4 live rounds and one blank, same rational, no one knew for sure who had the blank..except the sound different! 😉
I believe Utah still executes by firing squad. From what I am told, it is in part due to some of the LDS beliefs about atonement for murder.
In Utah, the condemned used to get to choose between the hangman or the firing squad. Now I think they just use the sick dog solution like every other state with the death penalty.
Technically, condemned inmates have three choices in Washington state. Hanging, firing squad, or the needle. In reality we have a puppy shit soft, liberal governor who has refused to sign any of the very badly needed death warrants piling up on his desk.
doesn’t take a genious to figure out why…these governors don’t give a rats ass about the inmates, they are thinking about the family and friends votes! same old B.S. politics “poly ticks” blood suckers!
Very accurate description of our ‘governor.’ I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time until he commutes all the death sentences. A few more Dems in the legislature and they’ll vote out the death penalty altogether.
“An eye for an eye” it’s in the Bible and should be practiced throughout the country! imho

As one of TAH’s frequent posters likes to say: some assembly required.
“When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror….we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.”

WTF OVER
REPEAT OVER
DID NOT GET THAT OVER
SAY AGAIN OVER
Them’s some of those book-learnéd words there Master Chief.
I think, I think he’s making fun of us!
Sounds like some long haired hippy stuff set to the tune of bingo drums…
Nah, I think it means if people are glad to see someone dead, and forget their existence, then one must have been a real shitbird while they were alive. I graduated sixth grade before I got drafted, I know this stuff.
I believe Sara has this correct. That’s how I read it.
I don’t know about that, but I do know, we should in this life while we have breath, ask Jesus to save us and come into our lives, that way the minute we die, we will have Jesus or angels, or family at our bedside to take us to paradise!
“40 years”! That just shows how F’d up the system is. If we wanted to torture him a bit, the system should have married him to Whoopie Goldberg. Texas and Florida would have accomplished the will of the people in 1/3rd the time.
But still too long.
trash bags work just fine
Almost 40 years? The taxpayers paid to house, feed, and clothe this guy for twice as long as he spent on the outside. Show me the justice in that.
I won’t miss him. Don’t think I understand the logic of sending him out on a high. I’m guessing his victims were much less at ease in their final moments.
Fuck that guy, dead is dead and at least he eventually got his. Unlike those fuckers in Illinois when that corrupt shitstick Ryan commuted all of the death sentences in the state. I hope George Ryan gets hit by a truck….repeatedly.
Damn! I forgot to say bye.. Oh well…
I had surgery a couple of months ago, they administered small doses of fentanyl numerous times for pain…..I could have died and not even known it. That’s powerful stuff, as 1000’s of dead heroin users families can attest.
The prisoner’s name, and the number of doses administered,put me in mind of one of my favorite Tombstone Boot Hill markers:
Here lies Lester Moore
Four shots from a 44
No Les, No Moore.
A quick house call from a local large animal vet could have saved the taxpayers a big bundle of cash. That quick steel bolt powered by an explosive round is supposed to be effective and quick.
Why waste money making sure that a slime like this enjoyed his last moments?
That works for me.
A high altitude chamber. Take it to about 50,000 feet. Don’t ventilate it. Will take just a few minutes.
Best of all for thr lilly-livered left wing slipknots, there is absolutely no pain involved.
Or a 45 wadcutter at the base of the skull.
Or, a hyperbaric chamber ride to 300 feet. Let’m Sit for about 15 min, the an explosive vent back to the surface. They’d be deader’n hell and go thru extreme pain.
Yes, Alex, I’ll take number 3 for $100, please.
Got kin in NE. They’ve been wanting to bring back the new rope over a low hanging branch for awhile now. Expect more to follow soon. Good bye to the trash.
Hanging works good. Quick, efficient, humane. Process take less than 20 seconds from going to scaffold to fully dead. End of
AND the perps get a few minutes to remember why they are there!
Just like the old Johnny Cash song “25 Minutes To Go”!
“potassium chloride”
That alone would have him dead in seconds.
Anyone who has ever had their dog put down knows this.
This guy got a nice comfy ride to hell.
Did someone hold his hand and fluff his pillow?
They not only fed, clothed and housed the fuck for FORTY YEARS, but paid all the legal expenses for his endless appeals! I’m all for letting a Veterinarian give the shot, it would likely be much cheaper. Fentanyl? Meh, dead is dead and it took the State of Nebraska way too damned long to put him down!
They got hog farms in Nebraska, don’t they?
Well slap my ass and call me Sally, DRT. They finally foud a good use for a street drug.

Nearly 40 years? Really? Should have commuted to life without, 35 years ago and saved the taxpayers a ton of money. There is little justice in delaying a punishment that long. Well, anyway, bye you piece of slime. Now, if states would begin to whack child molesters and rapists as well, and do so much more quickly, the memory would be fresh in the minds of like-minded scum and go far in stopping slimebalms from harming women and children.
Seen too many ‘life without’ escapees. The dead tend to have limited mobility.
Bye, Felicia.
I am an Anesthesiologist and I can assure no one calls Nimbex “cisatracurium besylate”
It’s called Nimbex.
It’s an Intermediate acting (lasts 30 minutes) paralyzing drug.
Giving sedatives like Valium and Fentanyl before the Nimbex and Potassium is the humane thing to do.
I hate that executions have to be like anesthesia nowadays.
Why not do as others have suggested and expose them to low pressure or hypoxic environments?
It would be pain free and kill just as dead.
Hemlock is faster, and can be imbied in a glass of wine. But then, that becomes suicide, doesn’t it? Aww, shucks! Well, it could be dropped into his last cup of coffee.
