Do you Feel Sorry for Clayton Lockett?

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

The US death row inmate died of a heart attack after his execution was halted - because the lethal injection of three drugs failed to work properly. One of his veins ruptured, preventing the drugs from taking full effect. Lockett was sentenced to death for the 1999 shooting of a 19-year-old woman. "It was a horrible thing to witness. This was totally botched," Lockett's lawyer told the Associated Press. Do you feel sympathy for him for what happened? Or do you feel that justice has been served, regardless of the nature of the death? (Photo: Clayton Locket. Credit: Reuters/ Oklahoma Department of Corrections)
