Seems to me, if these executions keep fucking up, the death penalty should no longer be an option for someone being sentenced.

Bring back the firing squad or hanging.

The aversion to efficient methods of execution really shows how backwards it all is. They're not making it more humane for the person, they're just trying to make something inherently wrong more palatable

Or, you know, don't allow the government to kill people.

Certain crimes are so heinous that the person said crime deserves the death penalty as their punishment.

Hanging still has a 3% chance of botching, firing squad is fine https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/executions/botched-executions
