Observations of the execution team during the execution:
All of the execution team members present in the chamber indicated that they were not primarily focused on observing the inmate during this time, for various reasons including respect for the process.
The execution team also indicated that the inmate’s head was turned towards the witnesses.
Based on the placement of the execution team members within the chamber, a few of them were able to observe the inmate’s facial expressions.
There were reports of some facial movements, including squinting and limited bodily movements.
Many of the execution team members noted that the inmate twice asked, “What’s happening?” during the initial part of the administration of the lethal chemicals.
They all reported that they heard snoring, which was believed to have started abut eight to ten minutes into the administration.
None related seeing or hearing any evidence of pain.
