Yes, Jodi - Travis did suffer immensely. He was not killed straightaway, witnessed by the palm prints on the bathroom sink, the blood spatter on the mirror - while you were stabbing him in the back and head, the "rainbow" pattern on the wall while he desperately tried to get away from you. Then the cut to the throat, then the shot to the head.
If that isn't cruel and unusual punishment - what is?
I want to cry....
