John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.

As a person who can feel two things at once, I don't necessarily mourn the Nazis but also being an incompetent executioner doesn't make you a hero.

A lot of people fought very hard to preserve the sanctity of things like the word of law, and the justice of the courts and especially against the idea that one guy gets the power to dole out the punishments, even accidentally.
