A Lot About Executions in the News Lately

Tweet

Back around the 5th of this month, I read where three men were executed in just one day in Florida, Indiana and Alabama. Whoa! And these were all successful. What ever happened to Christa Pike in Tennessee and the botched execution there? And today California's governor, Gavin Newsom, has granted the largest mass clemency in American history. 548 people. I understand his reasoning on this. Plus, it probably saves 1,000s of dollars for the state. Many families of the victims of these murders' crimes are now very unhappy. I understand vengeance, I really do. But why would a family want to set and wait out their lives for these people to be executed? They could die before it ever happened. The entire system is very weird.
