ARE YOU OUTRAGED BY THIS BOTCHED EXECUTIION? “OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) – The botched Oklahoma execution of Clayton Lockett was largely due to a collapsed vein during the lethal injection, and the needle was inserted in the groin area instead of the arm after prison officials used a stun gun to restrain him, a prisons report said on Thursday. Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton said in the report the state’s execution protocols needed to be revised and called for an indefinite stay of executions until the new procedures are in place and staff trained.
Ahead of the Tuesday execution, Lockett, a convicted murderer, had refused to be restrained, the report said, and after being given a warning “an electronic shock device was administered,” causing an injury to his arm. The state has come under a barrage of criticism for the botched execution that many saw as a violation of constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment. The White House said the process fell short of humane standards. Lockett, 38, died of an apparent heart attack minutes after the lethal injection protocol failed. He was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Nieman in 1999.
Well, we are outraged too! But, for different reasons than you. Take a moment to read this and then come back and tell us how you feel: The main category of facts you won’t read about Lockett in the Times, or elsewhere in the NFM (Non-Fox Media), is what he did to his victims — which is to say, his last four victims. It may surprise you to learn that Locket had a long felony record.
In 1999, Lockett and two confederates broke into Bobby Bornt’s house to rob him. Bornt recognized Lockett as the man he had hired a few weeks earlier to cover a tattoo.
Lockett savagely beat Bornt for 15 minutes with a shotgun, as Bornt’s 9-month old son wailed in the next room. The three men bound Bornt’s hands together with duct tape and set about searching his home for something to steal. Indeed, Lockett pushed Bornt off the couch, complaining that he was bleeding too much into what he called “my couch.”
About that time, Bornt’s friend, Summer Hair, showed up to invite him to a party. The thieves pulled her inside, threw her against a wall and hit her, holding a gun to her head until she called her friend waiting in the truck outside, to tell her to come inside. That was Stephanie Neiman.
Stephanie walked in, and she, too, was beaten until she relinquished the keys to her truck. All three victims were locked in the bedroom with Bornt’s infant child, while Lockett and Co. ransacked the home, pausing only to pull Hair out and gang-rape her. One of Lockett’s crew orally sodomized her, then vaginally raped her. Lockett raped her vaginally, anally and orally.
Lockett directed one of his conspirators to steal a shovel from Bornt, loaded them all up in Bornt and Neiman’s trucks and drove to a remote area. Lockett took Hair from one of the trucks and again raped her vaginally and orally. He returned her to the truck, where the third man forced her to perform oral sex on him.
(Let’s pause here to reflect on The New York Times’ hysteria over hazy date rape allegations by drunk coeds on college campuses.)
Lockett demanded that his victims promise not to tell the police what he had done. Bornt and Hair promised, but Stephanie would not, so he yanked her out of the truck and directed one of his confederates to start digging a grave.
(He later told the police that he wanted to kill all three adult victims so that his parole officer wouldn’t find out he had left the county.)
Stephanie stood by the grave being dug for her for 20 minutes. Lockett shot her, but his gun jammed. So he walked back to the truck to fix it, listening to Stephanie cry, “Oh God! Please! Please!” The three men laughed at her.
Then he returned and shot her again. But Stephanie was still breathing — so Lockett told the others to bury her anyway. She coughed as dirt was heaped on her face. She was buried alive.
Lockett warned Bornt and Hair that they’d be murdered, too, if they went to the police, then drove them back to Bornt’s house. Bornt and Hair reported the rapes, kidnapping and murder the next day. One of Lockett’s accomplices quickly confessed and brought the cops to Stephanie’s body.
These facts are not contested by Lockett, who, as he wrote in a letter from prison, “told that fool” — the district attorney — “I did shoot that bitch.”
All four adults who lived through the evening with Lockett “snitched” on him — his two co-conspirators, as well as the two victims. (For this, he strove mightily from prison to orchestrate hits on all four of them — letters that came in handy during his clemency appeal!)
A jury sentenced Lockett to death, but he lived for another 15 years after committing these savage crimes, during which time he was fed, housed and given medical treatment by the generous people of Oklahoma.
In addition to plotting hits against the four witnesses against him, while in prison, Lockett repeatedly threatened guards, was caught with homemade weapons, destroyed prison property, and threw feces and urine at officers bringing him food.
When called to account for his attack on one prison guard, he explained, “F-ck this kangaroo court, next time it will be a knife.” Four days later, he was caught with an 11-inch shank and 23-inch club in his cell.
Another time, when a homemade shiv was found on Lockett, he told the officer, “You know that I could have stuck this in your f-cking heart.”
Lockett was so violent that other prisoners refused to be housed in the same cell with him, even though they could be punished for their refusal.
In letters from prison, Lockett said that he planned to “put a bullet in” Bornt. He wrote to his aunt — the mother of one of his accomplices — warning her that his “homeboys” in prison are “waiting on him.”
Lockett also planned to kill his ex-girlfriend, of whom he said, “She was gone” (going to) “get done real, real bad! And she still is. Her ass better get the fucc out of Perry” (Oklahoma) “cause my little brother coming down here from San Diego and niggaz think I was crazy then wait till cuzz get here! He already on the run from New Orleans for murder.”
New York Times editors may not have slept well after Lockett’s execution, but Bornt, Hair and about a dozen other specific individuals surely did.
In letters to the under-sheriff, Lockett bragged about his gang affiliations, his previous crimes and his intention to murder Bornt and Hair. “Cuzz Im a California Hoover Crip!” he says. “We don’t get down at all like these Hooverz from Oklahoma. Why you think so many niggaz beat cases out that way? Cause Im an assassin — point blank!”
This is the murderer whose recent execution has thrown liberals into deep despair.
It’s time to rethink a process that allows an animal like this with clear evidence against him to be kept for extended periods of time. Swift justice is what he deserved.
There is no process that’s adequate to rid the world of such scum. HIS penalty, no matter how it was carried out, was earned and then some.
So what are you saying, Jack? “If we descend to his level, it’s all to the good?”
There ain’t no public decorum, nor civilization, anywhere in that.
You know, Mr. Lockett’s behavior was so very extravagant, it makes you think there may have been some socio-biological foundation for it. But you can safely bet five bucks that the State of Oklahoma spent not one dime inquiring into the matter.
I do not feel he suffered as much as the young girl he shot and buried while still alive.
Maybe it is time for a “Eye for Eye” type Justice, and lets see if criminals are willing to chance that penalty.
My heart pumps cold concrete for Clayton Lockett, but a public hanging would have sufficed.
Can some please explain to me Blame The Victim Libby’s socio-biological behavior? In 5000 words or less.
