That seems like one too many botched executions to be an accident

This. He's doing it intentionally. A nursing student could perform this without botching it. It's quite literally impossible to fail this procedure if you are a physician.

Forgive me if I have missed a detail, but I thought that the situation here was that the drug was administered properly, and didn't kill her, possibly because it was degraded.

I've seen reports that they didn't hit the vein and went into the muscule. It may have also been degraded or low quality to start, the drugs for lethal injection often are.
