A few days ago, Douglas Stewart Carter was released from a prison in the US state of Utah. He has been proven innocent of what he was convicted of, once over 40 years ago.

Ever since dna broke through in law, roughly 200 prisoners in the US have been released for similar reasons. The dark figure is large.

Most recently, the state of Tennessee failed to euthanize Christa Pike. Earlier that year, the same state suspended the execution of another of its citizens, Tony Carruthers. The staff was unable to get the syringe in. Carruthers was sent back to his cell. There he still sits.

Since the breakthrough of DNA evidence, over 300 innocently convicted prisoners have been freed after decades in solitary confinement in the United States alone.

Now the American "Minister of War" Pete Hegeseth is going to broadcast live an upcoming execution. How long will this barbarism be allowed to continue?
