I don’t understand why they wait 25 years.

Lets all remember claudia never got a last meal, never got to say goodbye to her loved ones, never got to see her grandchildren grow up, i'll be praying for Claudia ❤

[jseon]

Why the heck are they treating him like a dying poor puppy?? This dude murdered someone in front of children. Just go about it and get it over with.

All these anti-death protesters would be singing a different song if that was their mom, wife, sister, etc were the victim.

[Tea-nOpals]

25 years? The wheels of justice turn slowly. What is the point of condemning a murderer then keeping him alive on the taxpayers' dime for 25 years?

[MyBizOnlu]

So he got to personally say goodbye to 10 family members, but his victims family had to say goodbye at the grave.

[spittinchips]

I looked up what he did....beyond human comprehension...utterly savage and evil.

The lady you killed didn't have a choice why should you

[goldseekersadventures]

But I don’t get it when that reporter says that the majority of the nation wants to abolish the death penalty because I would question where did she get her information. States that do not have the death penalty or have voted it down. Did not take a vote on it from the People.

JUSTICE WAS SERVED SADLY IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN 20+ YEARS!

[waltersalas]

I wish California had the Death Penalty.

[FKITMANE]

He's been given more of a reprieve than he gave his victim.

[jefft]

The guy is two cheeseburgers short of a heart attack anyway.

[denisstock]

How do you consider it a death penalty when he lived like the rest for decades as we pay for them to sit watch TV have internet that's not what I would call a death penalty

[plutoplatters]

looks like Taberon's been eating well.

[charleneinman]

Why does this man get to live for twenty five years on tax payers money? If they get that sentence, they need to have sentence carried out immediately.They gave this man hours before the event to gather his thoughts! Did his mother in law get time to gather her thoughts .Them children have got to gather their thoughts everyday of their lives after bringing witnesses of their granmother loosingher life!

[vjkgktu]

We often have MORE pity on the criminal than on the VICTIMS. They too wanted to live but they were refused to this RIGHT

[kenclark]

25 years too long. The process needs to be trimmed

SALT LAKE CITY — Just after midnight Thursday, the state of Utah will conduct its first execution since 2010 when convicted murderer Taberon Honie is put to death.
WATCH: Here's how Utah's first execution since 2010 will take place
While the execution of Honie is set for the early morning hours, protocols are already underway at the Utah State Correctional Facility. FOX 13 News will continue to provide real-time updates on the execution throughout the day and evening.2:44 a.m.
Shortly after midnight, the curtain was drawn and Taberon Honie was seen strapped to a table with IVs in both arms.
At 12:03 a.m., he was asked if he had any final words. His demeanor was calm.
"From the start, it's been if it needs to be done for them to heal, let's do this, " he said, referencing the victim's family. Then he appeared to address his fellow inmates.
"If they tell you, you can't change, don't listen to them. To all my brothers and sisters here, continue to change. I love you all. Take care."
Honie's foot was twitching, apparently out of nervousness. He looked around the room and mouthed something to the prison's chief of operations and the warden. They told reporters Honie said "thank you for taking care of my family" and mouthed to his family witnessing the execution: "I love you."
Honie lifted his head up, appeared to take a deep exhaling breath. At first, his breathing appeared rapid, but quickly slowed. His skin turned pale, then blue.
The director of prison operations kept checking an EKG meter. Reporters were told later that two doses of pentobarbitol were administered with the second dose coming at 12:07 a.m.
It took 17 minutes before Honie was declared dead.
