Execution of Joseph Wood
The execution of Joseph Rudolph Wood III occurred on July 23, 2014, at Florence State Prison in Arizona, with a two-hour lethal injection procedure that was described as "botched". Wood gasped and snorted for over an hour after the drugs were injected, with the entire procedure taking almost two hours; experts said the execution should have taken about ten minutes.〔
== Background ==
Wood had been convicted of murder and assault for the August 7, 1989 killings of his estranged girlfriend Debra Dietz and her father, Eugene Dietz. Wood was convicted of two counts of first degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault against a police officer. He was sentenced to death for each murder and received 15-year prison sentences, set to run concurrently, for the aggravated assault convictions.〔http://www.leagle.com/decision/1994233180Ariz53_1222.xml/STATE%20v.%20WOOD〕
Wood was scheduled to be executed with a combination of midazolam and hydromorphone, which had only been used once previously for the January 2014 execution of Dennis McGuire in Ohio. McGuire's execution had also been described as "botched", due to McGuire appearing to snort, gasp, and convulse during a procedure that lasted 25 minutes. From 1890 to 2010, the rate of botched lethal injections in the United States was 7.1%, higher than any other form of execution, with firing squads at 0%, the electric chair at 1.9%, hanging at 3.1%, and the gas chamber at 5.4%.
