The 2022 Alabama Executions And The Crisis Of American Capital Punishment, Alexandra L. Klein Jan 2023

The 2022 Alabama Executions And The Crisis Of American Capital Punishment, Alexandra L. Klein

Scholarly Articles

The Death Penalty Information Center described 2022 as “the year of the botched execution” in its 2022 Annual Report. Alabama’s execution errors were especially serious: it attempted to execute four people, botched three of its four executions, and ultimately called off two executions.

And as the system of misdemeanor adjudication continues to be flooded with new cases, the value that is exalted over all others is efficiency.
