This post is regarding the horrible execution of Del. When the guard Terwilliger is helping to secure the head piece to Del; which he was experienced at doing; why did he not notice that there was no water running out of the sponge? I realize this scene has been posted about a lot but this was just glaringly obvious to me.

I agree 100%. He should have lost his job for negligence. Especially for someone that had performed the act several times.

I disagree with this. Remember, in the movie, Percy had just said
"There is no Mouseville, you French-fried beep Burn in hell.
or something along those lines. Paul, Dean, Harry & Brutal were so shocked that they were distracted from the wetness of the sponge. They were seething at Percy! Completely distracted and that is why they didn't notice. So tremendously sad. -

Good catch, Jay. In another thread, someone claims that Paul did notice, but was loath to delay the proceedings.
