Wife said one of the inmates had a cardiovascular problem night before last. Died for three minutes. First time an Ohio prisoner's life has been "kick started" using the portable paddles. He is serving a life sentence. Implications please!! What are your thoughts?? Is his sentence finished? Is the state guilty of cruel and unusual punishment for extending his sentence?? Hmmmmmmm...

 

[Toonces]

I feel like I should answer this in a blue book.

 

[pawclaws]

Toonces; I'd darn near hire you just to keep an eye on the outcome!! Looks to me like it might be a real fun one. She says nobody has mentioned contacting a lawyer yet. The guy is only 57 years old and has been in for over 20 years. Don't know what the charges were. My puter has been dead and I haven't been ableto rrsearch the background yet. Soon as I catch up on news....

I'da just let him go and save the tax payers the expence of his continuance....

Personally, I think if he isn't permanently dead and buried then he should remain in prison. That's the intent of a life sentence. But I'm sure Ohio has a legal defintion of death and if he met it then he'd probably go free if challenged. Catch 22 and all that, what?

Said very well D.

Hey Toonces, just make sure you skip a line and write on the front side of the page only. This would be a fun one to handle on either side. IMHO I say that he is in until he is in the ground perm. Sometimes life doesn't mean life though.

He may have been clinically dead, but with out a pronouncement of death, he isn't officially dead. If he doesn't have a death certificate, he cannot prove he was dead.

Just like without a birth certificate, you can't prove you were born..

To hard a question for me to answer.

 

[pawclaws]

I can't seem to get any of those whimp guards or nurses to put a bug in his ear! How inthe heck does anyone expect me to stir the pot without a little cooperation! I shall not lsurrender; however, I shall endeavor to continue to commence to begin to start something!! Inquiring minds want to know!!

Any of you ever watch the Princess Bride? Really funny scene about whether a fellow is dead--or just mostly dead. If he was all dead there is only one thing you can do--go through his pockets and look for loose change

 

[pawclaws]

LOL @ Hawken 45!! I guess when you think about it; we all wake up one day deader than yesterday!
