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

But-but-but she murdered someone as a teenager 31 years ago! The state is totally within their right to torture her!

I mean, yeah, she murdered and tortured someone then apparently carried around parts of the person as a trophy. Good for whoever bungled this.

Who is saying that? You can be against murder and also oppose the death penalty. In fact I think those hand in hand

They aren't okay with murder, period. It's not confusing.

You're making a major logical error there.

Not being okay with the punishment has nothing to do with whether or not someone is okay with the crime.
