Rounding up some capital punishment stories from the week that was
Amid a busy week with lots of travel, I have not had a chance to cover any number of notable sentencing stories making headlines at the start of June. I am hopeful that this weekend will provide me with some time to do a broader round-up of a broad array of sentencing news and commentary. For now, I will be content to provided abridged coverage of some capital punishment pieces catching my eye:
From the AP, “Execution date set for Missouri inmate, even as he awaits hearing on claim of actual innocence“
From CNN, “He spent months visiting death row inmates and witnessed three executions. Here’s what he’s learned“
From HuffPost, “‘Rebel Nun’ Documentary Aims To Reinvigorate Push To Abolish Death Penalty“
From the New York Times, “A Death Row Prisoner Tells of Living Through a Botched Execution“
From the Phoenix New Times, “Rachel Mitchell: I’ll execute death row prisoner if Kris Mayes won’t“
From WION, “‘Doomsday’ triple-murder case: Chad Daybell sentenced to death for murder of wife and girlfriend’s 2 children“
