BBC News - Oklahoma inmate dies after 'botched' lethal injection

I think there was one european supplier of the drugs. I will need to google the actual news reports from last year but from memory it was someone in a Semi in Wembley...

In the rush hour? He'd probably be as safe as if he was tucked up in bed at home, as the traffic is probably doing only about 2 MPH or stationary

Nah, far too simple - The Yanks love their ridiculous gadgets, even if their baroque over-elaborate execution methods make them a laughing stock.
