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
-
The reason being that the drugs act the same medically, and so they, as the report states it, "are medically interchangeable."

"All I can conjecture is that this was my first foray into this very unusual world of executions, lethal injections."

-
"And somehow that glaring word, acetate — I don't know, ma'am. I just totally dropped the ball, is all I can say."

"Agent 1 testified he would not use the form as-is in a criminal investigation because it did not contain enough information to be helpful."
-
"Assuming those individuals had taken the time to learn the Protocol ..."pic.twitter.com/pCWAd0IVUA

One senses the grand jury came to the conclusion the DOC folks really weren't that concerned with the protocol, yes?
