“I feel my whole body burning” a killer last words as he executed by N!!!!!

If the injection didn't go directly into the vein and went under the skin it would burn. Well that's what happens in animals so would guess it's similar in humans.

no to actually be declared dead takes pretty long time.

This is why they're always mixing the potassium chloride in prosons. It ensures a quick death, by heart attack. Prison stuff don't have time to watch you dying peacefully by N, and to officially pronounce the deatd after12 hours.

Keep in mind that health professionals are not allowed to perform executions because it goes against the Hippocratic oath. Which in turn often causes people who are not as well trained to perform the execution.

Also drug suppliers often refuse to sell to states if they know the drug will be used for a execution therefore the states have to sometimes get creative.

I'm from Oklahoma, and remember this story. Botched executions are nothing new.
