@janienesbittjones.bsky.socialStarting in 1608, the New World used the following means of execution: bludgeoning, burning, gibbeting, breaking on the wheel, & crushing. Hanging prevailed until electrocution in 1900. Nevada introduced lethal gas in 1924. The U.S. has never executed anyone by drawing and quartering. #deathpenalty
@breakingnews06.bsky.socialTexas carries out first US execution since Christa Pike's botched lethal injections #TexasExecution #CriminalJustice #DeathPenalty #LegalSystem #JusticeForAll
@janienesbittjones.bsky.socialIn 1981, Rickey Ray Rector killed policeman Bob Martin, then shot himself in the head. He survived but was severely mentally impaired. Still, he was tried, convicted, & sent to death row. He left a slice of pecan pie untouched at his last meal, saying he was saving it “for later.” #deathpenalty

@joepaulson2.bsky.socialOkay. We are back to people not surviving executions. That's good. Let's leave that to horror movies and such. #DeathPenalty

@commonsensechadlaw.bsky.socialPeople will give up the needle the day they believe the cell door stays shut.
Make life mean life first.
Protect society. Protect taxpayers. Leave room to fix a mistake.
@joepaulson2.bsky.socialAnother somewhat sick final capital appeal watch as we wait for a final decision at #SCOTUS while a state preps someone to die. #DeathPenalty

@moxymcmxlvii.bsky.socialEveryone seems to be skipping it. In 1995, Christa Pike, then 18, lured a 19-year-old named Colleen Slemmer into the woods and murdered her
If you’re going to claim the moral authority to take a life, the least you owe everyone, her included, is competence

@breakingnews06.bsky.socialChrista Pike 'angry and confused' after failed execution, lawyers say #ChristaPike #FailedExecution #JusticeSystem #DeathPenalty #LegalNews

It doesn't make communities safer
It solves nothing
It degrades us all
@valenabeety.bsky.socialThank you @amandaknox.com for having me on Hard Knox and lifting up #brendaandrew case. Only #scotus thought the gender tropes were a problem - and she’s appealing to #scotus again. #pinkcrimebook #deathpenalty #genderbias @thenewpress.bsky.social amandaknox.substack.com/p/how-junk-s...
@commonsensechadlaw.bsky.socialA life sentence can be wrong, too.
The difference? The man in the cell is still alive when the DNA comes back.
Protect society. Leave room to fix a mistake.

@democracymatters.bsky.socialA man who has witnessed a dozen executions explains his choice.
