Cruel and Unusual Paperwork

This episode has explicit contentThis week I tackle the death penalty, but through the paperwork rather than the politics. Why are states sourcing execution drugs from suppliers they won’t name? How did Tennessee’s attempted execution of Christa Pike go so wrong that the state had to stop, wait and explain itself? And why does the language around capital punishment (“carrying out the sentence”) sound like a parcel delivery? Both sides of the debate get a fair hearing, with three lines in the sand, three verdicts, and the argument that the big moral question and the paperwork question are really the same one.
