\"death<\/p>\n

Fox News<\/a> reports Nebraska\u2019s first execution since 1997 was carried out today, using a lethal combination of elements never before administered in the state. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Moore was convicted in 1979 for the murder of two cabdrivers in Omaha.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well yippy yi yo. Nebraska, after nearly 40 years, sends a double murderer off to the great beyond using a street junkie\u2019s 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 <\/del> moderate velocity right behind the ear. Messy, but doesn\u2019t Nebraska have other death row inmates, just sitting around?<\/p>\n

*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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
