But it could become a river again. If an executed convict is resurrected/reincarnated, can you execute him again?

My guess is no, not without re-trying him. And you can't try someone twice for the same crime. If you kill someone and somehow some magic or technology later resurrected them, they have technically already paid their debt to society, or at least completed their punishment.

But if they're walking around in front of you, how can you say you have killed them?

Just because you are alive doesnt mean you couldnt once have been dead.

Completely dead or only mostly dead?

To clarify. In this country (US) if the first attempt at execution fails, their sentence is changed to life in prison. Therefore, I would guess that if a person was... reanimated after being executed, they would recieve a life sentence. But that's just a guess.

I thought that rule was after three failures?

I don't think so. Then again, I saw it in a passing glance, so I will check.

Failing an execution is like failing to drink through a straw.

How hard is it to shoot someone, or jam a long, sharp metal object into an eye socket? Oh, wait, humane executions. Sorry.

I'm refering to modern methods... lethal injection. We have a few prisoners here who did not die from the injection, and they now have life in prison.

And something like.....you know, injecting them again is completely out of the question?

*sigh* Bring back the days of the '9mm to the skull' method of execution. Much quicker, much cheaper, much easier, and much more humane.

Nope, waste of money - Bridgeport hemp is reuseable.

Something about denighing them due process... I don't know.
Though, lethal injection is sort of inhumane.
