Made me think of this Monty Python scene :D

That’s the problem, as I see it. Taking extraordinary means to keep a person alive so you can punish them more seems like the definition of “cruel and unusual” to me. If the guy has been given a life sentence and he’s dying, let him die.

No pronouncement = not dead....




.

Our Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Reviving a prisoner who is dead or near death and has expressed his wish to be allowed to die just to punish him more is very cruel and very unusual.

I don't for a minute believe they revived him just to incarcerate him longer. Like with any other DNR if it is not "on scene" you have to provide life saving measures. It isn't a word of mouth type of thing. The fact that he "expressed his wish to die" doesn't hold any weight.

I think they should just tell him they will officially consider him dead if they can bury him.

Rather than paperwork to be on scene, if he had DNR tattooed on his chest, would that suffice to not bring him back?

It's a shame the doctors revived this POS . I am no lawyer but when you kill someone in cold blood , found guilty by a jury and given a life sentence society owes you nothing .
