      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.

          And the MAJORITY of the employees were not able to even "intelligently testify" about the state's scrutinized, revised execution protocol.

          That's the conclusion of months of this grand jury meeting: Revise the protocol again, track the drugs, learn your jobs, hire an ombudsman.
