Execution Pride
According to a recently released report by the American non-profit, Death Penalty Information Center, legal executions in the USA in 2024 remained at historic lows. A total of 25 people were executed across nine states with Alabama leading the tally with 6 executions, followed by Texas with 5 executions. Make of that what you will, it was the response of Steve Marshall, Attorney General of Alabama, that really got my attention. To quote:
This has been a team effort. I would like to thank Commissioner John Hamm and @ALCorrections, as well as my dedicated group of capital litigators, for delivering long-awaited justice for each of these victims.
