The FDLE observer saw two medical people behind the executioners during Diaz. According to Matthews, he was there with two other medical people. Dr. Elio Madan, the medical director at Florida State Prison, claimed he remained in the cell nearest the chamber alone and then only pronounced death. He denied watching the heart monitors. Dr. Selyutin’s testimony conflicted with Dr. Madan’s in that he said that he waited in the same cell during the execution in case he was needed. He reported that Dr. Madan was not there. Dr. Selyutin, who has pronounced death in the past, readily admitted that part of his role was to watch the heart monitors and that he never understood why "Tallahassee rules" required him to wear a disguise.<br /><br />At the hearing, Dr. Selyutin testified that he was present at the execution at the express request of Dr. Madan, and that DOC rules (which Mr. Lightbourne has never seen) require the presence of two doctors.
