MigL Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I wasn't aware of this, but apparently the number of inmates scheduled for the death penalty has decreased by 13 ( almost a quarter ) since D Trump assumed power, after a 17 year hiatus. No other president in over 10 years has allowed the execution of so many inmates. D Higgs was executed by lethal injection in Indiana, for ordering the killing of three women. Higgs, a black man, was sentenced to death, even though he didn't actually kill the women; the other man, who did the killing, got a life sentence. Trump administration carries out 13th and final execution (msn.com) Seems this president is even more blood-thirsty than we thought
CharonY Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 He was/is plenty bloodthirsty. He demanded the death penalty for the central park five even after they were acquitted. There is an underlying theme about the folks he thinks should die, though (not necessarily related to death penalties, they seemed also politically motivated to various degrees.
iNow Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 One must also look at the race and gender of who’s been out to death under Trump. I believe there’s a skew
joigus Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 No "recalculation" requested this time, I suppose. He will probably be proud of it.
