How TF did they screw that up TWICE?!
Of course the state is being withholding on details, but there's a few things that could have happened, possibly simultaneously (Note: my source is listening to NPR):
It's worth noting that as of yesterday, she was reported as being on a ventilator at the hospital.
Also I just wanna add that the wrestling character in the picture is (I believe) The Undertaker. The actor is now the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee. This is a very Tennessee post.
I had to look it up, Kane was the mayor of Knox county, TN, not the undertaker. (Wikipedia, Knoxville TN website)
You'd think he'd be pro mask...
You're right. I always get them confused.
Well, they are brothers.
I heard (also on NPR) that she has a rare vein condition which makes it incredibly difficult to administer anything by IV.
They’re not actually medical professionals right? I think the hippocratic oath basically prevents actual doctors and medical professionals from taking that job, so it’s essentially non-medical staff performing the injections.
if you think doctors treat the hippocratic oath as more than words on paper i have a bridge to sell you.
No, but as the OP replied to me, at least some of them are calling for it.
Apparently they are qualified medical professionals. Doctors and nurses are writing to the state asking them to not involve medical professionals in the process.

From what I understand, she has some sort of blood disorder that can interfere with the chemicals. They were told this by her lawyers and went through with it anyway. Twice. And she survived. Both times. So yeah. That's fun.
wait til future serial killers realize you can become immune to lethal injections
And all you have to do is contract a rare blood disorder that might be highly detrimental to your health and might not even be transmissible! Easy!
swings and roundabouts
she's got two lethal doses of the drug in her body now. if she recovers it's going to be slow and painful....
Thats so fucked up. Does she walk free after this? They already handed out the punishment twice.
Lol, who am I kidding. I know how the US legal system works
She tortured a person to death, so I don't think so
She was 19. Had been abused herself, and had fetal alchohol poisoning. If she'd had spent the last 30 years being rehabilitated, she'd be a very different person from that fucked up 19-yo.
The sentence is death, not poked with a needle. The system got this one right up to that point, it wasn’t a complicated case. The system could still do better and needs to change, but she really doesn’t need to be the one who goes free because of that.
The request from her lawyers is to commute the sentence. So no.
