Lots of stories of death

Kicking off a month of death drama, the CNN website is full of death penalty stories tonight:

• this article reports on the approaching 1000th execution will likely take place in North Carolina tomorrow;
• this article reports on Singapore’s execution of a young Australian for a drug crime; and
• this article reports on the death sentence given to a child killer in Florida.

Similarly, TalkLeft is blogging up a storm with strong posts about the Singapore case, about how the US shares capital company with China, Iran and Vietnam, and about the politics of capital clemency.
