re: #220 Decatur Deb

You would think that states that execute people with metronomic regularity would get fuckn’ good at it. If I’m ever on death row, ship me to Rhode Island or someplace.

They were good (or at least better) but the drugs being used stopped being made available in the US, so the executioners had to use different drugs that hadn’t been fully evaluated for these situations. Those who carry out the executions aren’t doctors. So they are left guessing at doses, durations, etc.

And we’re left with one botched execution after another.
