JACKSONVILLE, Fla. AP – Strapped to a gurney in the lethal injection chamber at Florida State Prison, Angel Diaz felt the poison flowing into his arms and awaited his death. But it didn’t come quickly.

“What’s happening” the convicted murderer twice asked as his Dec. 13 execution dragged on. Witnesses had the same question and some that he was in pain. Diaz appeared to grimace and he turned his head to the side, mouthing words, his chest rising and falling.
