State leaders across the aisle agree with the decision the order to halt and review the execution process.
“Making sure you’re in compliance with the Eighth Amendment, the Constitution, that you’re not going through a cruel and unusual punishment,” said Cam Ward, director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles.
And there are other questions, such as what that review process will look like, how long it will take, and why the Alabama Department of Corrections will conduct the review while under federal investigation itself over the condition of its prisons. “I think you can’t put arbitrary deadlines or arbitrary time frames on making sure that you have perfect and adequate public safety, so I think she did it the right way,” said Ward.“What’s the best way, most effective, efficient way to kill somebody? In the name of justice? That’s deep,” he said.“I think the law is what it is on the books right now,” said Ward. “And therefore you got to make sure you implement it in a way that’s it’s fair to promote public safety.
