Doctor's Mistakes Can Kill You, Except When They're Trying To Kill You.

Loyal readers of my little blog garden already know why lethal injection, as currently practiced, is an incredibly fucked up way to kill someone. The state of Missouri evidently thought that it wasn't quite fucked up enough. From News of the Weird:

In June, federal judge Fernando Gaitan Jr. ordered Missouri to suspend executions until substantial changes are made in its procedures, including specifying exactly which lethal drugs are to be used and in what quantity. Gaitan also pointed out that the doctor overseeing the state's executions is dyslexic and may inadvertently be transposing the dosage numbers.

Nothing to add here. This one stands on it's own.
