A murderer on Death Row has survived a ‘lethal injection’ – but was left in “great pain” when his “botched execution” was halted at the last minute.
Doyle Lee Hamm, 61, was repeatedly stabbed with a needle in his groin, ankles and lower legs as executioners attempted to find a usable vein, his lawyer has claimed.
The Alabama inmate has temporarily escaped execution but was left traumatised after medical staff were unable to find a vein to carry out the lethal injection, reported The Sun.
Hamm who has battled lymphoma, was due to be executed on Thursday for the murder of motel clerk Patrick Cunningham in 1987.
But at 11.30pm that day it was called off because medical staff did not think they could “obtain the appropriate venous access” before a midnight deadline.
Just two hours earlier, the execution was given the go ahead by the US Supreme Court.
The state prison commissioner blamed a “time issue” for the last minute delay, however Hamm’s lawyer has spoken out about “the butchery” which caused the inmate “great pain”.
They then unsuccessfully tried to connect the line through his groin which resulted in severe bleeding and pain, reported NBC News .
Mr Harcourt tweeted on Saturday that a medical exam into “the butchery” will be conducted.
