A Florida person’s lawyers on Death Row are trying to prevent their upcoming execution, arguing that their chosen method of fatal injection in their obesity and health conditions may be wrong.
48 -year -old Michael Tanji is to be killed on 8 April in 2000 to convict a woman in Miami for kidnapping and murder. The village signed his death warrant on 10 March, but Tanj’s lawyers are demanding execution from the state’s highest court.
Tanj’s lawyers stated in court documents filed last week that their client suffers from obesity and suffering from sciatica, a condition that causes pain with the back -gradual nerve of the back.
He argued that Florida’s deadly injection process cannot work due to the weight of the tanj, emphasizing that a temptation drug may not be completely effective and leaves it “paralyzed but aware” during the process. His lawyers claimed that killing him would violate the eighth amendment, which prevents cruel and unusual punishment forms.

His lawyers said in the appeal, “The current processes use a size, which does not fit any approach that does not allow for the dose modification.” “An important risk is that Mr. Tanj will be made paralyzed, but will be made aware when sodium acetate is injected, causing sensation to be burnt inside.”
Tanj “probably will affect the pulmonary edema, creating a sensation of suffocation and sinking,” their lawyers said, their obesity, acid reflux and sleep apnea “pose a sufficient risk, if they are seduced on their back, they will suffer from reflux and vomiting aspiring.”
Their obesity would make it impossible to execute themselves humanly using the current process for the state, their lawyers argued.
Tanj’s lawyers said, “The existing protocols for deadly injections do not consider someone’s obesity and execution of uncontrolled medical conditions, such as Mr. Tanzi, who possibly likely to complicate the deadly injection process,” said Tanj’s lawyers. “Executing Mr. Tanzi using the existing protocol is likely to cause serious illness and unnecessary suffering.”
The lawyers also argued that there may be difficulty in keeping IV lines carrying a three-drug deadly injection cocktail.

Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeyer responded to the appeal by Tanj’s lawyers that he did not show that the deadly injection protocols of the state would violate protection against brutal and unusual punishment. Uthameyer also said that Tanj’s lawyers had a lot of time to raise their concerns, but waited until just before the scheduled execution.
“Tanje fails to offer any assistance to his baseless claim that the huge dose of the atomidate, which has been used in repeated and successfully and successfully used in Florida’s deadly injection protocol, will not work,” said the office of Uthmeyer.
In Florida, it should be executed by a deadly injection or electric chair.
Tanj was convicted of kidnapping Janet Acosta in April 2000, strangling his death, and left his body in the key before going south to meet friends. He was arrested after filing a report of missing persons and was seen driving the vehicle of ACOSTA.

In April 2000, Acosta was seated inside his steep van when Tanzi attacked him and threatened him with a razor blade. He forced and strangled him before he started running a van towards Florida Keys. At one point, Tanj sexually assaulted Acosta and used his bank card to withdraw money from ATMs.
If the execution of the tanj is done according to the plan, it will be third in Florida this year. James Dennis Ford was killed for killing a couple in Charlotte County in 1997 last month and Edward James was killed earlier this month to rape and kill an 8 -year -old girl and kill her grandmother.
