Did they explain why they convened a board to research the topic to get to the bottom of this and then disbanded the board before they finished? Seems kind of shady when the government says "We are not sure, we need to do more research before we do this" and then never actually do that research and just kill someone?
Either you trust the government, and agree that they should have waited.
Or you don't trust the government, in which case you really can't trust them to kill someone.
The previous governor stayed the execution and created the commission to investigate which lasted 6 years until the new governor was elected. The new governor disbanded the commission. They were from different political parties and probably had different views on the death penalty / the use of state resources.
I was also using a statement from the governor,

who makes some assertions which contradict the innocence project's.
