A death row inmate was subjected to "three hours of pain" in what might be the longest execution of all time in the United States, it is claimed by human rights campaigners.
Joe Nathan James Jr, 49, was sentenced to death for killing Faith Hall in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1994, and died by lethal injection after an unusually long wait on July 28.
The execution was supposed to have taken place at 6pm but supposedly didn't go ahead until 9pm and he was pronounced dead at 9.27pm.
