The question should be...Were the executioners the ones that were in court and handing out the verdict.
If the executioner wasn't the judge, part of the jury, or part of the prosecution team trying the case? Then really doesn't have a thing to do with the execution of the verdict itself.
Guess they figure if they can hold it up in court, that much longer the convicted has to get out of the death penalty period. Guess they didn't stop to think that even IF one of the executioners were 'unfit/unqualified' that the state can and would find one that was fit/qaulified?
