One-third of the executions by lethal injection in the United States this year were “botched,” a capital punishment watchdog group said Friday.
WASHINGTON, United States –
“2022 could be called ‘the year of the botched execution’ because of the high number of states with failed or bungled executions,” the nonprofit DPIC said in its annual report. In Alabama, for example, it took three hours to set an IV line for the July 28, 2022 execution by lethal injection of convicted murderer Joe James Jr., the DPIC said.
The DPIC said 37 of the 50 US states have abolished the death penalty or not carried out an execution in more than a decade.
