Bobby Jindal: New death penalty drug that takes 26 minutes to kill is fair

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Sunday said that using a new lethal drug that took as long as 26 minutes to kill an inmate is a fair way to conduct an execution.
Earlier this month, Ohio elected to use two drugs never combined before to execute Dennis McGuire after manufacturers began refusing to sell traditional execution drugs to U.S. states. According to reports, McGuire gasped for air and took almost 26 minutes to die.
Louisiana announced last week that it would also use the drug cocktail to convicted killer Christopher Sepulvado.
Are you comfortable with this execution going forward with this method of killing him? CNN host Candy Crowley asked Jindal on Sunday.
