Ohio lethal injection takes 2 hours, 10 tries

Executions get botched every now and again.

There weren't "ten tries" to execute him ... it took ten attempts to establish an IV line. BIG difference. Guy was a junkie, and they couldn't get a decent vein. Might be a good idea to consider a PICC instead of just an IV, but that's a surgical procedure and requires that an xray be taken to establish correct placement of the line.

Would have been nice had the fellow thought murder was barbaric before he beat and killed his cellmate in an argument over a chess game.
