The lawyer for a death row inmate who was subjected to an aborted execution last week said that a doctor will examine him, after he said the execution was “botched,” NBC News reported.

Doyle Lee Hamm, convicted for the 1987 murder of a hotel clerk in Alabama, was slated to undergo lethal injection. Police officials called off the execution because they didn’t have enough time to carry it out before the death warrant expired.
