If you botched an execution, then the convict should be commuted to life sentence or even pardoned if they suffered greatly. In addition, the people who botched it should be put on trial for malpractice and fined/jailed.
The executions aren’t done by doctors, as that goes against their hypocratic oath. It’s not even done by nurses in a lot of cases. They’re done by people who have barely any training. Botched executions are a dime a dozen because of this.
To be clear, I am against all forms of capital punishment. It’s barbaric and has no place in 2023.
