The procedure, halted after over an hour of failed IV attempts on the inmate’s arms and chest, now excludes IV practice entirely, a move prompted by an independent review. Compounding the issue, the contracted physician admitted he hadn’t performed the specific central line insertion since 2013, raising serious ethical and competency questions. Worse, the protocol lacks transparency around team vetting, with no clear process for verifying qualifications or external oversight—leaving selection shrouded in confidentiality rather than medical expertise. This episode exposes a troubling disconnect between protocol, practice, and ethics in the administration of death sentences.
