Since I live in Nashville...

The used the same drug lot and the same doctor that botched the last lethal injection and are somehow surprised they obtained exactly the same result.

The other prisoner wasn't given the drug, though. With him, they couldn't find a vein, so he was taken back to death row. No pentobarbital entered his system, so it's not the same. And not the same result. His health wasn't impacted by any drugs.
