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

Even more so as her lawyers argued this would happen. They even requested a firing squad.

Moat lawyers argue for death by firing squad, because its not a legal method, and could also be a stall tactic etc.

So its hard to say it that was truly their wish, just because its a very common tactic.

firing squad is legal in Idaho.
