The Death Penalty Information Center's year-end report on capital punishment in the United States said Friday that 2022 could be called "the year of the botched execution." | Seven of the 20 U.S. executions this year were "visually problematic" as a result of executioner incompetence, failure to follow protocols or defects in the protocols, according to the report. 💬 "After 40 years, the states have proven themselves unable to carry out lethal injections without the risk that it will be botched," said DPIC Executive Director Robert Dunham in a statement. "The families of victims and prisoners, other execution witnesses, and corrections personnel should not be subjected to the trauma of an execution gone bad." ● Alabama, Arizona and Texas had botched executions when the execution teams could not set IV lines, leading to cancellations or hours-long delays. Executions were also delayed in Alabama, Idaho, Ohio, Tennessee and South Carolina when the execution teams were unable to carry out execution protocols.
