Approximately 3% of U.S. executions between 1890 and 2010 were botched, as outlined in Austin Sarat's 2014 book Gruesome Spectacles. Among 8,776 executions over 120 years, 276 (3.15%) encountered mishaps. Lethal injections had the highest failure rate (7.12%). Sarat defines botched executions as deviations from established protocols, leading to unforeseen problems or prisoner suffering. • This video summarizes some of the worst cases of botched execution by lethal injection from 1985-2023. Although proponents have endorsed the method as a painless and more humane way to carry out executions, some experts have said lethal injection is the most botched of execution methods. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, 2022 earned the title — Year of the Botched Execution . An astonishing 37% of lethal execution attempts (7/19), were botched! These mishandled incidents made up more than a third of the total number of execution attempts — a record high even as capital punishment in the U.S. remain near a 30-year low. Execution attempts across several states, including Alabama, Tennessee, Idaho, and South Carolina, were marred by protocol errors that resulted in halted procedures. • Robert Dunham, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, highlights a national shift away from the death penalty, yet notes persistent extremes in execution attempts by certain states. He describes the documented rise in botched executions as conservative due to the limited data focused on incidents within the execution chamber. Dunham also reveals that some executions were canceled before commencement due to non-compliance with state protocols, underscoring the challenges and controversies surrounding capital punishment practices. • • • • • • • Attribute(s): • Lethal Injections Are to Blame for Over 100 Botched Executions in America, Khaleda Rehman, Dec 8, 2022, • https://www.newsweek.com/lethal-injec... • HOW LETHAL INJECTION WORKS • The science, the ethics, • the politics and the history • By Rosalind Bentley • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, • http://specials.myajc.com/how-lethal-... • • Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay • Music by Yevhen Lokhmatov from Pixabay • Music by Stringer Bell from Pixabay
