Fox News media witness Troy Hayden reported that the execution team had trouble inserting the IV line and that Dixon appeared to be in pain and grimaced during the insertion process. He said that after about 25 minutes, the execution team cut into Dixon’s groin to place the IV line there. Associated Press reporter Paul Davenport, who also witnessed the execution and saw the incision being made, said at the post-execution news conference that execution team members had “to wipe up a fair amount of blood“ from Dixon’s groin.
