Background:

President Trump, a vocal supporter of capital punishment, resumed federal executions in June after a 17-year hiatus. When he leaves office, he may hold the record for the most federal executions in more than a century. With 11 executions and 2 more planned, Trump will cement his legacy as the most prolific execution president since Cleveland in the 1890s. Unusually, many of these were crammed into the "lame duck" period of his presidency. link

Biden plans to link on the federal death penalty.

Why another death penalty poll?

Coz I'm mad that a 52-year old woman was executed today. Her crime was pretty horrendous but she was very likely mentally ill and couldn’t even rationally comprehend she would be put to death. Despite prosecutors alleging that she was "faking" mental illness, scans showed actual brain damage. As link notes (*CW sexual abuse*), "she suffered sexual torture, including gang rapes, as a child, permanently scarring her emotionally and exacerbating mental-health issues that ran in her family."

Add it to the 381K coronavirus death toll of the Trump administration I guess :)

Not much of a fan of the death penalty. Not when there are still so many mistakes (innocent people getting found guilty) and so much corruption.

^^ Lisa Montgomery was extremely unwell, and her execution is a crime. Abhorrent.
