Darryl's dicey death

The world is a better place today because Darryl Durr was executed yesterday. He was a lowdown killer – and a serial rapist – who doesn’t deserve any sympathy.

But the lawyers for this otherwise forgettable punk deserve credit for coming up with a new excuse to avoid The Needle.

They claimed that ol’ Darryl was – get this – allergic to the anesthetic used in Ohio executions.

So they said that the state couldn’t execute him because that could cause him too much distress … while he was being executed!

Fortunately, logic and justice prevailed – which can’t be taken for granted any more in America’s courtrooms.

State lawyers said that if Darryl did suffer low blood pressure and impaired breathing during the execution, it was no big deal. After all, it would happen when he was on the way to zero blood pressure and no breathing.

Thank God and Greyhound he’s gone.

And if he suffered a bit extra during those final moments, well, that’s a chance I’m willing to take.
