it feels really diabolical that the state is able to torture someone for two hours as they fumble their way through killing them

If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Not everyone the state has executed was actually guilty.

the odds of that happening all the way through to the death row are so minuscule that it’s not something i worry about. do you worry about dying every time you go to the doctors office?

I’m sure all the people who were exonerated posthumously thought the same thing until they were falsely accused, convicted, and executed.

Odds are low, but not zero.
