Summary

The state of Georgia has just suspended the execution of 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys scheduled for this Wednesday. Because two members of its pardons and parole board have alleged conflicts of interest, the clemency hearing scheduled for today has now been “postponed until further notice.”  Humphreys had already made headlines earlier for his exorbitant and jaw dropping last meal request which you have to hear to believe. Finally, as Florida continues its record setting year of executions, its last lethal injection is set for Thursday, just as new research shows public opposition for the death penalty is at its highest level in nearly 50 years.

we've seen in 50 years, but the numbers of executions at the highest level we've seen in 50 years, but the numbers of

0:39.4

executions at the highest numbers we've seen in a while. That is a strange shift there, because

0:46.8

it's interesting. You've got a state like Florida and Governor DeSantis trying to say, hey, if we are

0:52.9

legalizing executions and we've sent people to

0:56.1

death, why are people on death row for up to four decades? Let's get some closure and some justice

for these families. And so he's pushing a lot of executions forward. Number 19 is scheduled for

1:18.2

And look, that debate will, of course, continue the other part of that's come up in a handful of

cases, literally is about guilt or innocence. Correct. That we're close to possibly

1:28.1

condemning someone and putting someone to death. It's something that we can't take back with some

1:31.9

questions about their guilt or innocence. Now, this week we were supposed to see you, yes,
