Alabama on Thursday halted the execution of an inmate who had argued that his veins were too damaged for lethal injection, because medical staff did not think they could connect the intravenous line by the time the death warrant expired at midnight.
Alabama Corrections Commissioner Jeff Dunn said the prison system halted Doyle Lee Hamm's execution around 11:30 p.m. "out of an abundance of caution" after medical staff said they did not think they could obtain "the appropriate venous access" before midnight. "It was a time issue," Dunn said. "I wouldn't necessarily characterize what we had tonight as a problem. ... The only indication I have is that in their medical judgment it was more of a time issue given the late hour."

Well, hang him. He doesn’t have a damaged neck
Shoot him, he doesn’t have a damaged torso
Gas him, he is still breathing

Put him in an air tight box and flood it with pure nitrogen gas.
Works better anyways.

GN2 Exposure •The GN2 purge displaced oxygen in the aft compartment and
created an atmosphere of pure nitrogen,
which human senses cannot detect.
Inhaling an oxygen-deficient atmosphere can result in unconsciousness
without any warning symptoms after only a few breaths.

The only reasons things like this still happen is because there are a bunch of folks who
want it to happen. We know of safe, easy and sure ways to execute folks. All you have to do is build an air-tight room. Strap the condemned on a table. Leave the room, and pump in pure nitrogen. 20 minutes later you have a corpse that probably doesn't even know it died. You then pump in regular air, and collect the corpse. This is sure, effective and doesn't leave room for people to complain about any 'pain and suffering'.
Why isn't this done everywhere? THe only reason I can see is that people on both sides like to keep the issues surrounding executions around for their own purposes.
