Two Executions on a Thursday in America
AtlanticAPR 2022
The secrecy surrounding the "oversight" made by Tennessee is unusual, and doesn't aid the ongoing pushes in America to determine the process of death by lethal injection unconstitutional.
The controversies regarding the use of lethal injection will only further reaffirm desires by states to use more draconian and less merciful execution methods such as the electric chair and the firing squad.
Capital punishment is a barbaric affair that compounds violence with violence. It eliminates any possibility of rehabilitation, drains tax dollars, and revictimizes a murder victim's loved ones. The death penalty is no more effective at ensuring a safe society than a life sentence - it needs re-examining.
