The pandemic is also presenting the legal teams for the three men scheduled to die next week with difficult questions about their obligations.
"We haven't had a federal execution in 17 years; there is absolutely no reason for the government to rush forward with such a reckless and dangerous plan," she said.Officials at the Indiana prison where the executions are scheduled to resume said they are taking steps to prevent infection. But people with experience at the Terre Haute prison doubted that would, in fact, be practical, given its narrow hallways, poor ventilation and a lack of space in the room where lawyers and clergy meet with prisoners before their deaths.Wave Of Young Judges Pushed By McConnell Will Be 'Ruling For Decades To Come'
All the people on death row should already be dead. Idk why it takes years and years to kill these monsters! They should hang as soon as the verdict is read
10 simple rules not followed by fools. Thou shalt not....
Although I personally am not in favor of the death penalty, it is the law. Why would the lawyers, priests and “some families” want to keep dragging this out?
Sick.
Why?
Christians & their death penalties. crucify capitol punishment
Is Pence going to try it out first, you know, just to see if it works.
This is dreadful. The death penalty should be banned. This isn’t the Middle Ages.
more tRump admin trying to sneak horrific ideas past us while the Pandemic is supposed to keep us too busy to care. that worked great with Black Lives Matter, didn't it? I suggest this end the same way - outrage from the population at large
MAGA?
Shocking to even think that we still have executions...!!! what is wrong with us humans ?
Tell ya what, after the execution we will call the death COVID so it will be okay, after all that's how Cuomo got away with murdering all the elderly.
death penalty in 2020? r u serious? The executioners are better off committing suicide to atone for their sins against life. Misanthropy is far more redeemable & dignified than either anarchy or democracy of idiots! HomoOblivious HomoMoronicus HomoAbsurdicus
Good to know the USA has something in common with only fourteen countries in the world including the PRC, Bangladesh, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. You can tell a lot about a country by the company it keeps. So much winning🤢
'Pro life'
This is unconscionable.
Reading all these tweets, I assume you’re against the killing of babies via abortion.Both are legal, Both are taking a life. At the very least, we shouldn’t be subsidizing it.
Barbaric! This has to stop.
in a nation without language of obligation to people's health, education, livelihoods, existence... it is incredibly bleak to hear: ''We owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system,' Barr said.'
Everyone who is paying federal taxes are supporters, like it or not.
They could probably save some $ by just getting him a seat at the next trump rally.
Was it intentional that NPR left out that Wesley Purkey VIOLENTLY RAPED & MURDERED A 16 YR. OLD GIRL?! Or that he DISMEMBERED, BURNED & DUMPED THE YOUNG GIRL’S BODY IN A SEPTIC POND?! Or that he USED A CLAWED HAMMER TO BLUDGEON AN 80 YR. OLD WOMAN w/ POLIO TO DEATH?! Burn him!!!
I did not know that the death penalty still exists
This is so wrong.
The death penalty legitimizes killing. It solves no problems while creating many.
Can I just say how much of a hypocrisy it is for Republicans who are against abortion and are pro-life claiming that the state should have the right to kill people?
Pro life killings?
To add to the135,000 deaths from a failed COVID plan, 40-60,000 deaths from a lack of medical care for all, 40,000 excess gun deaths each year, cops shooting about 1,000 folks dead each year, a couple of thousand drone strike deaths, our support of Saudi genocide in Yemen...
Just a Jesus would want!
Now is certainly not the time.
Just when you thought things could not get any worse, the death penalty is back.
Make sure you don’t count them as a CV19 death... o know how you people be doing that lately
Trackless and uncompassionate as this may appear on the surface. I suspect, giving someone the release from Trumptopia right now is not actually the 'punishment' it is intended to be. Serious note. No civilized culture kills it own, no matter what.
Preparing for realDonaldTrump ‘s day in court for treason I see.
So twisted
Heaven forbid a multiple-murderer catch the Covid!
Bring back the electric chair
Execute mike pence for being complicit in the deaths of tens of thousands of americans. He’ll appreciate getting his ticket punched to white heaven in his ol home state, which is important, i think...
Barbarian times.
This image is very crucifix. The world looks at America and sees death.
State execution is wrong. Abolish the death penalty.
I shall ask for the abolition for the punishment of death until I have the infallibility of human judgment demonstrated to me. Marquis de Lafayette
So they don’t care about the victims families? Put them down like the dogs they are.
The death penalty is barbaric and outdated. The government should not have the right to kill it's own citizens. Doubly so when wrongful convictions are still prevalent.
Godfather.......the prisons....PaulEalyMooney
Will it be live streamed?
No delays!
Ah I see the state has decided to go with 'do as I say, not as I do.' We all know how well that works.
They must proceed.
Can trump go first?
