Lethal Incompetence

The doctor had more than twenty malpractice suits filed against him.
Two hospitals had revoked his privileges. He testified that he had dyslexia
and sometimes confused drug dosages. This same doctor also supervised
the lethal injections of fifty-four inmates in Missouri over a decade.
For ten years, the public, the press, and the condemned inmates
themselves did not know about the supervising executioner’s qualifications
in Missouri.

Don't we deserve to know who's on the killing team here, too?
