Who wouldn’t be?
#ChristaPike is confused & angry after surviving her botched execution, attorney says
The hearing was interesting & enlightening. I hadn’t realized that last January her attorneys had predicted this very outcome due to her medical conditions, particularly her small veins. This serious torture could have been avoided 2 ways. The state could have taken her January filing seriously, or I dunno, don’t freaking execute people.

Latest death penalty report
October 2026
We are pleased to attach the latest death penalty report for mid September to mid October thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. This month the failed execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee has led to international outrage. After two failed attempts to execute her she was found still to be alive and was rushed to hospital where it is reported she is still alive.
The governor of Florida continues with his drive to execute people making it the record state in the US.
We are pleased to report the release of Jagtar Singh-Johal on bail after being held in prison for 9 years.
As ever we must note that we have no reports from China which is believed to execute more of its citizens than the rest of the world combined but where details are a state secret.

"A woman is dead who should still be here. A man I deeply care about is waiting for the state to kill him. Both things are true.
Those truths do not cancel out each other. They sit beside each other, like two people left alone in a room after everyone else has gone." https://www.texasobserver.org/the-distance-between-dying-and-death/

“Christa is a survivor & will take recovery one day at a time,” the lawyers said.
#ChristaPike, 50, is believed to be the first person to have survived multiple doses of a #LethalInjection drug.

Should the 'ultimate penalty' -- the taking of a human life by the State -- be an election year drama stunt? And should Town Square executions and their promotion, if ever at all proper, be reserved for guillotining of "nobles" (billionaires)?

Trump Approves Firing Squad Execution for Fort Hood Shooter
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-approves-execution-by-firing-squad-for-fort-hood-massacre-shooter/ -
In April, the #DOJ said it would move to expand #execution methods used to carry out federal death sentences beyond lethal injections, including by making the #ElectricChair ‼️ & firing squads available in some cases. It also directed federal officials to restore the execution protocol from Trump’s first term, which uses the drug pentobarbital for lethal injections.
-
#Trump has long been a staunch supporter of #CapitalPunishment. During his first term in 2020, the #DOJ carried out its first federal executions in nearly two decades. In his second term, his admin lifted a moratorium on federal executions & pushed for more death sentences.
-
… #Execution by #FiringSquad is rare in the #US, permitted in a handful of states comprising Idaho, Oklahoma, Utah, South Carolina & Mississippi. Three people in South Carolina were put to death using the method last year, DPIC data showed. Before then, only three people had been executed in this manner since 1977 — all in Utah.
-
If carried out, it would mark the first #US #military #execution since 13 April 1961, when US Army Private John A. Bennett was hanged after being convicted of rape & attempted murder, according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), which monitors #CapitalPunishment.
…The US military’s last known #FiringSquad execution was carried out by “musketry” on Nov. 9, 1945, according to DPIC.

There is so much wrong with these people.
#Trump has approved the #execution by #FiringSquad of #NidalMalikHasan, a former US Army psychiatrist who opened fire on dozens of people at #FortHood, Texas, in 2009.
Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s spox, said Monday that #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth had recommended death by army firing squad, & Trump approved it.
“Judgement day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell said on X.#law #DeathPenalty #CapitalPunishment

On September 30, Tennessee gave Christa Pike two doses of a lethal drug. She survived, something experts say had never happened before.
It comes in an odd year: the world recorded more executions in 2025 than in any year since 1981, eight in ten of them in Iran and almost half for drugs. Yet US juries returned 23 death sentences, against more than 300 a year three decades ago.
