Reply to comment by Caladbolg_Prometheus in Tennessee says pair gave incorrect execution drug testimony by AudibleNod

How would bacteria in the injection make the death penalty any more barbaric? It isn't going to kill him slower.

It could kill slower, or even worse make the painkillers ineffective. There’s even been cases where both happened. Survivors describe the ordeal as ‘lava in the veins.’ That’s right, people survived lethal injection.

So yeah, ‘kill him slower’ is on the table. Longest ‘successful’ lethal injection was 1 hour 57 minutes. It was not pretty.
