Boston Legal: Kill, Baby, Kill! (2008)
Season 5, Episode 9
4/10
Another silly premise
22 June 2022
A prison guard at an execution is appalled to see a lethal injection botched with the condemned thrashing in agony for over 20 minutes. The guard finally enters the chamber and shoots the condemned man in the head.

Then the state charges the guard with murder! For shooting a condemned man in the process of an attempted execution! That's just too stupid for words. Yes, he would have gotten fired, but it WAS an execution of a legally condemned man.

Yes, that allows Denny to save the day by inspiring Sack to turn the case around with a clever twist, but we're really supposed to believe that the state charged a man with murder for carrying out a legally sanctioned execution even if in an illegal way?

The writers aren't even trying. With constant verbal winks that break the 4th wall by reminding us this is the last season, they're apparently in it just for the jokes and the paycheck.
