Execution team in denial - The Angel Diaz execution

Equally disturbing, every single member of the execution team testified that nothing extraordinary happened during the Diaz execution other than the amount of time it took to effectuate death. Warden Randall Bryant, Assistant Warden Randall Polk, physician's assistant William Mathews, the primary executioner, and the medically trained personnel, all testified that they did not observe anything unusual during the execution.

Every single expert who testified, whether before the Commission, or as either a defense or state witness in Lightbourne, has reached the opposite conclusion. Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Heath, Dr. Dershwitz, Dr. Sperry, and Dr. Clarke, all testified about the numerous errors committed by the poorly trained execution team in charge of the Diaz execution.
