Death Penalty in US still carried out

category international | anti-capitalism | other press author Thursday January 17, 2008 14:53author by Joe Report this post to the editors

Last year more than 40 people in the United States were killed by the barbaric Lethal Injection and one by the even more barbaric electrocution.

Here is the list of those put to death by Lethal Injection in the US last year.

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=1666

This is a list of the botched executions where the victims suffered greatly

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=8&did=478

For instance, in 1982 Frank Coppola's head and leg caught on fire while he was being electrocuted.

In 1983 John Evans was still alive after his leg went on fire. The room was filled with the smell of burning flesh.

In 1983 Jimmy Lee Gray died banging his head against a steel pole in the gas chamber while the reporters counted his moans (eleven, according to the Associated Press).

More than 40 people have experienced such barbaric deaths in the US since 1986. Apporximately 1,100 others died with a little less suffering.

The full figures and other information is available here:

The United States is still insisting on murdering it's own citizens, especially African American men. Do what you can to highlight this issue.
