Does their disposition revert to life in prison without parole or do they [gasp] get off?
Alternatively, How many bites at the apple do they get to kill the defendant?

A state screw up doesn’t negate the crime or a needed punishment, only puts question on if the attempted execution was necessary or overly extreme and past ethical guidelines for suffering. Seems if we just avoided capital punishment we’d forego the costs and risks and this would just be a thought experiment of what is state-sponsored brutality.
The state (or rather the ones in charge and pursuing this punishment) will absolutely want more tries. Circling back to ask why they want to do it so badly.
