I believe there have been too many people convicted and executed based on eyewitness testimony, crooked prosecutors/police, and a poor defense.

Thia guy seems to have been convicted with enough evidence to be assured of his guilt, but I'm still opposed to the death penalty because of the uncertainty in other cases.

Whomever designed the procedure and process for administering the lethal drugs needs to be held accountable. How could they not find a suitable vein?
