Okay, first off, wtf is with the measurements behind her? There are two scales, they don't match and either could make sense. this looks like AI, and the little twitter logo doesn't help.
Second, somehow the prison systems have become such a fucking mess in the US they manage to repeatedly botch these "lethal injections". We've had this figured out for decades: just use barbiturates. okay, I was going for snark about the cocktails they use but this one WAS just pentobarbital. The same doctor managed to fuck up both this execution and another one earlier this year. This idiot apparently can't place a catheter.
A proper doctor will refuse to be involved in a murder. Pharmaceutical companies refuse to sell drugs to executioners. She has a medical condition that makes it hard to get a good vein.
Real clown show.
If they're going to do it, they should stop half-assing it. At the risk of sounding like one of "those guys", I don't support the death penalty, but I do believe that there should be no hesitation or chance of failure when the point is to kill someone. Fuck it up and you just cause suffering for no reason. Bring back headsmen or death by firing squad if you want to execute a person. If the concern is the guilt the executioner feels, good. Killing a person should never be clean or easy, regardless of their crimes.
