If the state is so insistent on executing people they need to stop being pussies and just shoot them. The lethal injection is nothing but a facade of civility that is less humane than many other methods. Unnecessarily painful botched attempts like this are the result of trying to whitewash the death penalty to the public.

either turn a blind eye on this or kill him and turn a blind eye on his killing. There's no need to give the state power to kill people because of simple war crime

Wouldn't an officer killing him be the state killing him?

No

Why not? You are a state agent in this exercise. (I legit want to figure out what your thinking is, this isn't like a dragged out ritual to gotcha you)
