Execution Process

Method of Execution: Lethal Injection

Drugs used:
Sodium Thiopental - causes unconsciousness
Vecuronium Bromide - stops respiration
Potassium Chloride - stops heart

Two intravenous lines are inserted, one in each arm.  The drugs are injected by hand held syringes simultaneously into the two intravenous lines. The sequence is in the order that the drugs are listed above.   Three executioners are utilized, with each one injecting one of the drugs.

There are certain things we must make sure we accomplish within the next couple of weeks:

1- Get pictures of Mom and Grandmother for Caro, the sooner the better (T).

2- Get a ‘circle journal’ for Grandmother, Mother and Tom (C will get one), for memories about the family to share between them (you choose if you want to include MOm or if you want it to be just between grandmother and you).–> TMAC needs to choose what he wants

eg- I time around the circle can be- “favorite moment with mom”? or what did she want to be when she was a kid? -These memories will be invalauble.
