“This continuing litany of errors makes you question whether the Department of Corrections is uniquely incompetent or whether that incompetence pervades the administration of capital punishment in Oklahoma. Warner’s last words were that his body was on fire. That suggests that the midazolam did not work in rendering him insensate and that the drug that was used for the killing produced intense pain. Now we know the wrong drug was used and Department of Corrections officials either didn’t know or didn’t care.”
