Florida murderer who raped and killed woman is left writhing in agony and takes twice as long to die as he is executed using new untried lethal injection drug

"...could inflict undue pain", gee, I hope he didn't suffer too much... (?!) after all, he was but murderous rapist(!)

-William Happ, who killed and raped Angie Crowley, 21, in 1986, was pronounced dead at 6.16pm on Tuesday at Florida State Prison in Starke

-He was the first to be injected with the drug midazolam hydrochloride, despite concerns it might not work as promised or could inflict undue pain 

-Happ was pronounced dead 14 minutes after injection - double the amount of time it typically takes using the old formula

-Drug replaces the barbiturate pentobarbital, which has long been the first of the drugs administered in Florida... but which is in short supply

-It's believed the use of the drug was successful and now other death penalty states are likely to begin using it
