Ah, but the condemned might die in agony if the are given the wrong
drugs - and that will never do will it?

One of the drugs is an anaesthetic so there is no pain. It's still a
barbaric practice regardless of the crime.

And the robbing, assaulting and killing of innocent victims is less
barbaric?

I would suggest that you have a very long and hard look at your table of
priorities!

Now just to placate you, I do not believe in capital punishment in any
form - it is a far to easy release for those convicted of crimes that would
invoke that sentence. Far better to lock them up in a black hole, throw away
the key to its door and feed the convicted prisoner on the left-over slops
from the prison's pig-farm (if it has one) and dirty water.

If that also offends you, then put them out to work for eighteen hours a day
on hard labour - and then return them to the black hole AND still feed and
water them as above!
