Don't you think though that the actual issue gets buried when a story like this causes an uproar about death penalty? Its as if people need anything even remotely related to the topic to start debating. By all means there should continue to be a debate - ranging from a forum level all the way to supreme courts - on death penalty. BUT, this story in particular, to me is more about lack of proper procedure and equipment in place.
Maybe botched executions are a rare event, so there is not much to discuss about it unless one is really knowledgable about it?
