I think 20 years is long enough.
"At 11pm on May 3, 1993, two days after his come back to me, or else ... ultimatum to his estranged, common-law wife Barbara Canada, 24-year-old Willie Tyrone Trottie broke into the Houston home of Canada's immediate family and opened fire.
Strapped with a 9mm pistol, he ignored the five young children in the home but wounded Canada's mother, sister, and brother Titus, who by then had begun returning fire with his own weapon. Titus hit Trottie, but Trottie persisted, eventually finding Barbara in a bedroom, where he shot her 11 times. She died there. "*bi+ch*, I told you I was going to kill you," Trottie said, before returning to Titus and shooting him twice in the head. Canada's 29-year-old brother died in front of two children.
Trottie was arrested that night and charged with the capital murder of both victims. He never testified, and his counsel, Connie Williams, never lobbied for a self-defense argument on the brother's murder – instead pushing unsuccessfully for a lesser offense. A jury convicted Trottie on all charges. He was sentenced to death on Dec. 15, 1993.
Trottie's appeals cited general ineffectiveness of counsel, which he argued ignored "obvious and available" defenses ranging from self-defense against Titus to a the fact that Trottie "virtually always" dressed in black (thus countering the idea that he'd worn the clothes he wore for the purpose of concealing potential blood stains).
His attorneys also argued that the state suppressed exculpatory evidence (i.e., a letter from Trottie's former probation officer maintaining that his strained relationship with Canada "probably did mess with [Trottie's] head a little") ;D ;D ;D
Last July, an appeal for a retrial was denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals. In May, Trottie wrote to the website Gawker: "My faith in God is still strong. Whatever HIS WILL, I'll be content with that."
Trottie is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday, Sept. 10. He'll be the eighth person executed by the state of Texas this year, and the 516th since the state reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Trottie's is the first execution in four months (Manuel Vasquez's August date was ultimately withdrawn, reset still pending).

His faith in God is still strong... really? Where was "YOUR" God when you shot to death those victims, infront of 5 children to boot? You will have 20 virgins waiting for you on the other side, all of them " NUN's" with shot guns waiting for your sorry azz... Blast you to where you belong. I would like to add: Never seems to be any atheist on DR.

I hope his sorry a-- is quivering in his flip flops.

The potency of the drug seems to have worked just fine.

I would like to add: Never seems to be any atheist on DR. How utterly and clearly true, Lady Whitediamond! We seldom hear of any atheists on DR... If I may be so bold and make an inquiery to You: How would You personally response to the idea of introducing guillotines as an efficient working tool for the executioners? Fast, safe and secure for all parts, I´d say! Perhaps I seem a bit archaic, but I would most definately highly appreciate the opinion of such an esteemed member as Yourself! Sincerely Yours Lordextinct.

Sincerely Yours Lordextinct. Complex, lets first start with assisted suicide. There are misconceptions that assisted suicide is quick, painless, & a guaranteed way to die( lets be frank, to kill) another. Many things can go wrong & do, the appeal of assisted suicide is based on fantasy. Also talk about who are the " innocent" people most likely to be abused? The poor, uneducated, or a dying person is a burden to relatives? DP. A good death? I still go with LI or firing squad. Execution for those who are guilty of heinous murder's of " innocents", also commited agains't society. The firing squad method is painless, & cheap. To yucky though for some. Where LI, like (assisted suicide) sure things could go wrong, so can things go bad just getting your blood drawn.. At least with the DP if found guilty beyond a doubt we are executing those who would murder you, your family at any opportunity, " harming families, our children & society as a whole.. No one will ever desensitize me into fantasy. What harm is really being done to society by sending the worse of the worse who think everyones life is worth nothing, except theirs of course to DR !!! Chopping heads off is an isis mentality. Of couse they do it in the name of religion,power,control & for "ransoms". Murder innocents. isis is just a large group of the same mentality of evil murderers, like the individuals here ( murderers) we execute. I willl never believe the framers of our constitution ever believed in " totally painless" there is no such thing, taken out of context by anti's. In reality we all know the difference between some pain suffered verses actual torture.

Thank You very much, Sir! However - the question was about the most efficient way to execute the condemned... I am fully aware of not beeing an american, and I shall most definately not pretend to imitate Your ways of expressions. Yes, by all means! I must appear like an odd foundling, but the main thing ought to be my firm conviction concerning the necessity of the Death penalty. I have taken part of this austere Community to be given the opportunity to share and Exchange opinions about capital punishment. If You please, Sir! Let´s keep it civilized. And loafers? Most certainly not! I am in my high heels at the moment.
