    Arkansas plans to Execute 8 men in 10 Days

    Why Arkansas Plans to Execute a Historic Number of Inmates in a Span of 10 Days


    http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...0-days-n734731


    The state government of Arkansas plans to execute eight men over a period of 10 days in April because one of the key drugs in their lethal injection protocol is set to expire at the end of the month.

    Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson set the dates between April 17 and 27 and will require the state's department of corrections to execute two men per day with a few days between each lethal injection.

    "As required by law, I have set the execution dates for the eight convicted of capital murder.

    This is based upon the attorney general's referral and the exhaustion of all appeals and court reviews that have been ongoing for more than a decade," Hutchinson said in a statement, though another statement added that the executions were placed so closely together because the availability of the drugs for future lethal injections was unclear.


    On March 8, Arkansas acquired the final drug needed to execute the eight inmates, under the execution protocols used by the state.

    O.K. Do you have some reason for dragging it out for months? Entertainment value? Protesting opportunities? Whatever?

    I support the death penalty. My only is it takes too long after sentencing to execute the condemned. I think one year after sentencing is reasonable. The way it usually is these people linger on our dollar for many years. Do it or get rid of the penalty.
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

    Agreed. When the leading cause of death on death row is old age... You are doing wrong.

    Fear profits a man nothing.

    So, what happens if we rush to get this done and find out one of them is innocent?

    I certainly have nothing against the death penalty, on principle.

    However, I am not certain that I view it as "the ultimate punishment."

    If a person is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, he will surely wake up every morning--and spend much of the rest of his waking life--confronted with the fact that he will never again enjoy the wonderful privilege of freedoom.
