Saying that he is far too busy right now and cant afford to miss any work, local financial compliance officer Bill Claremont told reporters that he is looking for any possible way to get out of executioner duty after receiving an official summons in the mail yesterday. Oh man, this could not have come at a worse time for me. Theres no way I can do this, said Claremont, adding that although he recognizes its his civic duty to put convicted murderers to death from time to time, his work and family lives have been hectic lately and he doesnt want to have to drag himself all the way out to a state prison on a Wednesday at midnight, wait around for the prisoners visit with the chaplain and his final statement, and maybe even get delayed by a last-minute appeal. Im not trying to dodge responsibility; its just that if the governor grants a temporary stay itll drag on forever. And for a lousy $25 a day? Totally not worth it. In spite of his resistance, several of Claremonts coworkers assured him that carrying out a death sentence is usually very quick, saying in most cases you just jab the guy with pentobarbital and its over.
