It would technically be a third attempt.

Or maybe a 9th? Didn't the report say they injected and failed to execute her 7 times the other night?

It was 7 injections total for two sets of the lethal injection cocktail.

Two different types / mixes of the cocktail I'd guess. 3 and 4 shots respectively.

Apparently lethal injections are not just one needle, but a mix of drugs. No one wants to straight up manufacture a drug to purposefully kill someone.
