A former Missouri prosecutor who witnessed the execution of convicted murderer Russell Bucklew this week said that he showed no signs of suffering during the lethal injection.
Bucklew, 51, was executed despite concerns from his lawyers and activists who said he would suffer due to his rare disease, according to news reports. Bucklew had a disorder known as cavernous hemangioma, which can cause tumors in the head and mouth and bleeding from the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
