Deliberate use of a 'dirty' needle might be grounds for 'cruel and inhumane treatment' and likely would gather unneeded bad press. The technicians are trained to use clean needles and are of course at risk for 'needle sticks' before and after the procedure that could harm their own health. Innocent people can still be executed (if framed?) and humane treatment costs nothing extra.

In case the technician inserting the needles gets accidentally poked.

maybe, in some cases, there are idictions that gives "double death" if the criminal will survive in the first excecution, another. so that if he will survive, he won't get any disease from the dirty needle.

Beats me. It is a waste of time and money. They won't live long enough to develop an infection, will they?

maybe it doesn't work first time and they don't want to give the guy other diseases until he's reprogrammed for another execution... :D
