The IV Team members for Oklahoma's Warner execution were never given a copy of the state's execution protocol, per the grand jury report.
-
Report: "[I]t was not until the day of the execution he realized he would be assisting in drawing up the syringes from the vials."

These two paragraphs speak VOLUMES. (OBNDD = Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drug)pic.twitter.com/gOLvHEmjzZ

"No clue how DOC had the drugs previously, but we changed the law so the state that keeps screwing up executions won't have to follow that."
-
That's pretty much what those two paragraphs are saying.

Report: DOC "selected the first pharmacist that agreed to supply the Department with the execution drug."pic.twitter.com/ySOze9kfxg

Remarkable things went wrong, right?
-
"As I said, pharmacy brain versus probably a law brain, I guess. I don't know." - pharmacist, on why he ordered the wrong drug

-
"Again, unbelievable dosages of these drugs. Dosages that we've never even thought about using in conventional medicine."
-
"It's a drudgery, but we're again, we're focusing. We're making very — we're — we've got anxiety. We're trying to do a great job."
-
"And somehow that glaring word, acetate — I don't know, ma'am. I just totally dropped the ball, is all I can say."
-
Essentially, the IV Team Leader's reason for not noticing they were going to use the wrong drug was that it was a stressful 30 minutes.

"Is that really what you expect this Grand Jury to believe?"

Gov's counsel literally recommended going ahead w/ an execution and getting clarification on drug use for NEXT TIME.pic.twitter.com/VQ3NLT9i0q

Very clear going through this that our thoughts that it looked like the AG's Office was v v unhappy with the Gov/DOC were well-founded.

From the findings: "[T]he 'Definitions' section of the Execution Protocol was, and is, woefully inadequate."pic.twitter.com/FW0BdcH8DH
