Today, Hunter is Re-Releasing his episode with Professor of Law Corinna Lain becuase her book, Secretes of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection, is now available! If you haven't listened already or picked up a copy of the book, now is great time to remember the hisotry of lethal injection and what that history means for the death peanlty today! https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Killing-State-Untold-Injection/dp/1479832960 Today, Hunter spoke with Law Professor Corinna Lain to discuss her career of research around the death penalty and lethal injection. While it may seem strange to hyper focus on lethal injection, there is something to be said about understanding how and why lethal injection became the defacto method for state sanctioned murder. When lethal injection was offered to the American people, it was designed to do one simple thing: hide the reality of state sponsored murder. So long as people could look away from the violence of the state, they could place execution out of mind. In doing so, the practice could continue in relative secrecy. Today's episode is about lifting the shroud on that secrecy to examine the way the lethal injection is just as, if not more, violent, cruel, and unusual and any other form of execution. Guests: Corrina Lain, SD Roberts and Sandra Moore Professor of Law, Richmond School of Law Resources: Can Europe end the Death Penalty? https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/02/can-europe-end-the-death-penalty-in-america/283790/ US Botched Executions https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/executions/botched-executions Execution of Clayton Lockett https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/13/botched-oklahoma-execution-clayton-lockett-bloody-mess Corinna Lain Faculty Page https://law.richmond.edu/faculty/clain/ Contact Hunter Parnell: Publicdefenseless@gmail.com Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comSince 1977, lethal injection has been portrayed as the most humane way to execute someone—but what if that's a myth? In this episode, legal scholar and death penalty expert Corinna Lain joins host Will Wright to expose what really happens inside America's execution chambers. From botched executions and hidden medical procedures to falsified prescriptions and black market drugs, Lain's new book, Secrets of the Killing State, reveals a justice system cloaked in secrecy. She recounts the chilling story of Clayton Lockett's 2014 execution, explains why so many lethal injections go wrong, and explores the hidden psychological toll on prison staff. We also examine the racial disparities in capital punishment and ask: does the state truly deserve the power to kill?

Am 14. April 2014 will die Strafvollzugsbehörde von Oklahoma zwei Häftlinge am selben Tag hinrichten lassen - Clayton Lockett und Charles Warner. Clayton Lockett ist wegen Mordes verurteilt und als erster an der Reihe. An ihm wird Midazolam, ein neues, umstrittenes Mittel in der Giftinjektion ausprobiert. Sein Anwalt David Autry wird Zeuge von Locketts qualvollem Todeskampf, der 43 Minuten andauert. Auch Richard Glossip sitzt an diesem Tag in der Todeszelle und muss die grauenvollen Schreie seines Mithäftlings mit anhören, ein Alptraum, den er nie vergisst. Nachdem auch Charles Warner durch die tödliche Injektion hingerichtet ist, soll Glossip als nächster drankommen. Wir diskutieren über Missgeschicke und Pannen, die im Verlauf des Gerichtsprozesses rund um Richard Glossip auftraten, über die Korruption von Seiten der Behörden und die letzte Versuche von Glossips derzeitigen Anwälten, das Leben des zum Tode Verurteilten zu retten. *** Werbung Mit dem Rabattcode Zeuge erhaltet ihr ein Babbel Jahresabo zum Preis von nur 6 Monaten.

Keep up with current episodes of Morning Cup of Murder at morningcupofmurder.com April 29th: The Execution of Clayton Lockett (2014) There are many arguments about the pros and cons of the death penalty. But, no matter where you lie on the fence with your opinion, we can all agree that a lethal injection lasting 43 minutes, where the subject writhed in pain and gasped for his life, is inhuman. On April 29th 2014 Clayton Lockett's execution would take place and, when it was all said and done, would leave a lasting impression and possibly change the opinions of those who are pro-death penalty.

Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Monday, May 27, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for Episode 11 of Clear & Convincing, featuring a discussion of the lethal injection challenges raised in state and federal courts by inmates who have been sentenced to death. In spite of sympathetic expert testimony and some like-minded federal judges, the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to declae lethal injection to be “cruel and unusual punishment. We’ll also talk about the changes to execution protocols made by several states due to public pressure applied to drug companies and which states have elected to reinstate electrocution or other methods of execution. Finally, we’ll discuss the controversial executions of Joseph Wood in Arizona, Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma and Dennis McGuire in Ohio. We’re a live show and questions are welcome. Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
To die, to sleep — perchance to be judged no longer viable in society and sentenced to burn alive from within. Who is truly avenged by our cocktails of untested heartstoppers? Justices: why did we stop, then start, doing this again?

Capital punishment hasn't been used in the UK since 1964, however many countries, including the USA and China, still execute prisoners ever year. This week the USA has carried out its first lethal injections since the botched execution of convict Clayton Lockett in April, who died from a heart attack nearly an hour after receiving his injection. The controversial technique has been used as a form of capital punishment in the states since the 70s, with over 1000 inmates being executed this way alone. Here is your Quick Fire Science on the lethal injection with Graihagh Jackson and Georgia... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
This week, Point of Inquiry welcomes Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor and Legal Correspondent for Slate, where she writes the "Supreme Court Dispatches" and "Jurisprudence" columns. Her legal commentary won her a National Magazine Award in 2013. She is a graduate of Stanford Law School and she joins Lindsay Beyerstein to talk about the crisis facing capital punishment in the United States. Almost all executions in the United States are performed by lethal Injection but America's go-to lethal injection drug cocktail is rapidly becoming obsolete because a key component is no longer readily available. States have been reduced to scrounging drugs from unregulated bulk pharmacies and experimenting with secret and untested mixtures of medications, a practice that may amount to cruel and unusual punishment. On May 21, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the execution of Russell Bucklew of Missouri, just two hours before he was scheduled to be executed for the murder of Michael Sanders. Bucklew suffers from a condition called cavernous hemangioma, which means that his brain is a swamp of blood-vessel based tumors where drugs could pool or leak during a lethal injection. Bucklew's lawyers argued that Missouri's secret lethal execution protocol risked causing their client an agonizing death. They cited the example of Clayton Lockett, an Oklahoma inmate who took 43 minutes to die last month, during a botched execution, a death so horrific that the State of Oklahoma suspended executions pending an investigation. Lithwick and Beyerstein discuss immediate practical crisis of capital punishment, as well as the larger moral and legal issues surrounding the death penalty.
