Pathologist says Mikal Mahdi was conscious and likely in extreme pain for as long as a minute.
Pathologist hired by attorneys for death row inmates says he was struck by only two bullets, not the prescribed three .
Prison workers suggested two bullets entered his body at the same spot.
Prison officials have given no indication that there were problems with Mahdi 's execution.
Mahdi 's heart was missed, and in all likelihood only two out of three shots were fired, Weiss says.
“It was obvious to me as a lay person upon reading his autopsy report that something went wrong here. We should want to figure out what it was that went wrong when you’ve got state government carrying out the most serious, most grave possible type of function, he says.
