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

This is a criminal justice system in America:pic.twitter.com/HUKWSfPReI
"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?
And, @csmcdaniel has and will continue to detail at length the issues with "the state's purchasing requirements" discussed next.
The Quality Assurance Review after executions, they repeat, is a joke:pic.twitter.com/DYWbqPVKGu
"As with most every other aspect of this process, the bare minimum was completed."
