Lack of screening

The pervasive lack of training is compounded by
the fact that many jurisdictions place individuals on
the execution team without screening them for any
necessary qualifications, such as whether they have
the requisite skills and expertise, are reliable, and
can be trusted to handle dangerous, and addictive,
controlled substances. As a result, many current and
former execution team members are particularly ill-
suited to carry out the complicated three-drug proce-
dure.
