I am using botched narrowly for actively tried and failed. Many would claim most 3-drug efforts “botched” because of pain possibilities

Did Arizona try actively and fail ... and then have to deal with whether to try again. I am using botched in this (too?) narrow way.

2 hours in I bet Mr. Wood would say there's more than one way to botch an execution. So too Mr. Lockett who died as a result.
-
I agree, but so would many others. I am using botched = failed. So defined, I count now 3 post-Furman. How many would you say botched?
-
I agree that different people could define that term differently. I might favor a broader definition than some. Reasonable people may disagree. All I'm saying is that any definition that doesn't include Lockett and Wood isn't serious.
-
I actually think a term like torturous or horrific may better capture ugliness of Wood and Lockett.
-
And really interesting that AZ and OK have seeming stopped executing, whereas Ohio and likely Alabama keep on at it

Yes, as I recall they had one that lasted two hours and a judge tried to halt it in the middle but the inmate was already dead. That's not a "botch"?
-
How would you use botched in this context? Taking long time? Condemned might appear in pain? Was recent FL execution not a botch?
-
Exclude who you want, but any definition that doesn't include Lockett and Wood is bogus.
