A lawsuit has been filed over the botched execution of an Oklahoma inmate who appeared to write in agony as he was put to death, with attorneys calling the execution a “barbaric spectacle” and “a violation of elementary concepts of human decency.”

The suit, filed Monday by the estate of Clayton Lockett against Oklahoma’s governor, director of the state’s department of corrections, and unnamed executioners and drug compounders, seeks damages for Lockett’s death, which took 43 minutes and inspired a nationwide debate about how states carry out executions. It also asks a court to declare that Lockett’s Constitutional rights against cruel and unusual punishment were violated.
