6 days after not one, but two, failed attempts to execute #ChristaPike, she has just regained consciousness. Gov. Lee has rightly called off executions for the remainder of the year, but he can and MUST go further. "Commute Christa Pike's sentence to life without parole!" 📞 615-741-2001

Diversion programs are often hailed as non-punitive alternatives to the traditional court process. But how different are they, really?

“The ethics of the death penalty are clear — taking a life in punishment for murder is not justice, but vengeance. One does not right a wrong by creating another wrong. The usual excuse for executions, that they are a ‘deterrent’, has been proven untrue, time and time again."

Lethal Injection: America’s Unethical Answer to an Unethical Punishment : The Hastings Center for Bioethics
When Christa Pike did not die from lethal injection, physicians were obligated to save her life. We are concerned about the predicament the healthcare workers are placed in.

Troubling news out of Washington, DC. Trump is ready to restart the killings. In the final 6 months of his first administration, we saw an unprecedented federal execution spree. Thanks to Biden, there are 37 fewer individuals that Trump can put his hands on, but that doesn't mean he hasn't tried.

Texas is planning to execute #JamaalHoward in just two days when he should be receiving a competency hearing. Jamaal lives with tremendous intellectual disabilities... a fact that should make him exempt from the death penalty.

I understand. My only response is that we should have system where the state doesn’t have power to make that decision, to end that life. It is a horrible choice, and one that man should not have the capacity to enforce. I invite you to my Substack to further understand. williamkissinger.Substack.com

Here’s a test for American Christians. Christa Pike was sentenced under American law to the death penalty, the state tried to carry that out. God stepped in and said no. Sentence fulfilled. Now release her.

In a stunning twist of events, Tennessee failed to execute #ChristaPike tonight - a second botched execution (or attempt) this year. The same physician who presided over the botched execution of Tony Carruthers earlier this year, was also involved in tonight's fiasco.
