 Execution timeline 
 
 10:19 a.m. — Four media witnesses arrive in execution chamber viewing room. Execution chamber is soundproof. 
 
 10:24 — Curtain is lifted showing Moore is on a table, his body covered by a white sheet and his arm out and connected to the IV tube, which comes out of the wall. Behind the wall is the IV team. Director Scott Frakes and acting Warden Robert Madsen are at the foot of the table Moore is on. The first of four drugs, diazepam, 37 cc, is started. 
 
 10:25 — Moore appears to speak to his witnesses, his brother, niece, a friend and a spiritual adviser. His witnesses are separated from the media witnesses by a partition. 
 
 10:26 — A saline cleanse runs through the tube to Moore. He closes his eyes. He turns his head to look up at the ceiling, then looks at his witnesses again. He closes his eyes. His lips part slightly. 
 
 10:27 — He begins to breathe more visibly. 
 
 10:29 — Warden Madsen does a consciousness check, flicking Moore’s eyelids, lifting them and shining a pen light into them. He then steps back. 
 
 10:30 — Fentanyl is delivered through the IV tube, 46 cc. Moore appears to cough and his diaphragm and abdomen move up and down rapidly, heaving. 
 
 10:31 — Saline runs through the IV tube. Moore’s chest stops moving and he goes still. His face gradually turns red and then a shade of purple. 
 
 10:32 — Cisatracurium besylate, 15 cc, is administered through the IV tube, followed by saline. 
 
 10:33 — Potassium chloride, 120 cc, is delivered.

 10:47 — Moore is pronounced dead by Lancaster County Coroner Pat Condon, out of sight of witnesses.

 Moore’s body is later remanded to the custody of the Nebraska State Patrol for an autopsy.
– The Aug. 14 execution of Carey Dean Moore in Nebraska garnered national attention because authorities used a heretofore untested cocktail of four drugs to end the life of the convicted killer. But now, another aspect of the execution is attracting attention: the fact that authorities at Nebraska State Penitentiary closed curtains for some 14 minutes, preventing observers from seeing the execution from start to finish. According to observers, about 15 minutes after authorities began to administer the drugs to Moore via IV, Corrections Director Scott Frakes—in the same room as Moore—spoke into his radio and the curtains closed the Lincoln Journal Star reports. Some say closing the curtains "hindered transparency" because observers—and, by proxy, other states looking for new execution methods—were not able to see the full effect of the drug combination. "Speculation cannot help but be rife, state Sen. Ernie Chambers, a death penalty opponent, wrote to Frakes days after the arrest, saying that witness reports of the events before the curtains closed "only tantalized." Those reports include accounts of Moore's face turning red, and then purple, the Omaha World-Herald reports, as well as Moore taking rapid, heaving breaths and coughing, per the Journal Star. However, a corrections spokeswoman says the curtain closing wasn't unplanned, telling the Journal Star that it "is consistent with past practice. Frakes says the execution was performed with "respect for the process and dignity for all involved," per the World-Herald.
