  • Reverend Jeff Hood, who served as the spiritual advisor to executed inmate Kenneth Smith, talks about Smith's final moments.
    Hood prayed with Kenneth Eugene Smith before Alabama executed him Thursday night by nitrogen gas and described it as “torture” that shocked witnesses and the prison officials standing nearby.
    Smith became the first inmate to die using the new method of execution never before tested in the United States.
    He was sentenced to die in the murder-for-hire plot of Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett in her home in Colbert County in 1988. Sennett was a pastor’s wife who was beaten and stabbed.

    All the people saying that this was not humane, I will remind you how the victim suffered. She had been stabbed and beaten with a fireplace implement. They used a fireplace poker to kill her horribly while she fought them. According to the sheriff that did the investigation, he said that she was still alive when he showed up. She had a pulse but then later died at the hospital. So, she lived for a while after being beaten and stabbed with a fireplace poker and suffering for a lot longer than her murderers did. It is obvious that she's suffered a lot more than they did while she was being murdered. Her murderers suffered very little compared to her death, in my opinion. Also, his victim died in 1988 at the age of 45, but her murderer lived to be 58. The murderer lived for 36 years after killing her. He lived for minutes after they applied the nitrogen only because he held this breath for that long. I guess they could have made it more humane by administrating a seditive before the execution. Thus, he might have been asleep and could not have held his breath. He could have then possibly died in his sleep. That would have been too easy for such a murderer in my opinion. Too bad for him. No one asked me for my opinion before doing this, or they might have actually given him a sedative and made it easier for him. I have been told I do think outside the box and see obvious things that people miss. How many more companies could have benefited by having me as a consultant...

      Off topic, I’m working on my critical thinking skills and heard it is not easy for a lot of people to do. I honestly don’t think too many people (that are not involved with capital punishment) thought about the sedative part, I know I didn’t. Some of the higher ups might have though. I think when it comes to capital punishment it boils down to money. My guess is it would cost extra money to give a sedative, and they decided not to go with it. It’s probably all types of technicalities that we don’t get to see, that goes on behind the curtains.

    I now understand why Kenneth didn't ask the family for forgiveness, even though they forgave him.

      @@i.a.m.7344 I think it’s human nature to fear death so badly that they don’t want others to be put to the death. But in my eyes, if you’re gonna go to that extreme and take somebody else’s life, premeditated, and willing to do such a heinous act you just don’t deserve to be here. Down the road it’ll save somebody else’s life. Somebody will see that and know there’s a consequence.
