Lethal injection readings (thanks in part to my students)
I have done so many blog posts about lethal injection protocols and litigation, I am not sure exactly how best to put together an abridged list of readings for anyone now eager for additional reading in light of the cert grant in Baze (details here). Helpfully, when I taught my death penalty course this past spring, my students assembled some great readings on the topic for their class presentations. Here are links to their reading lists:
- General readings on execution methods
- Reading on lethal injection protocols and the role of doctors in executions
In addition, nobody can claim to be informed on these topics without being familiar with the work of Professor Deborah Denno. Here are links to some of her writings I've previously highlighted in this blog:
- Academic insights on the lethal injection scrummages (noting Debby's article entitled "The Lethal Injection Quandary: How Medicine Has Dismantled the Death Penalty")
- Seeking balanced scholarly wisdom on lethal injection mess (noting Debby's article entitled "Death Bed")
- The legal attack on lethal injection (noting Debby's article entitled "When Legislatures Delegate Death: The Troubling Paradox Behind State Uses of Electrocution and Lethal Injection and What it Says About Us")
Finally, I cannot help but plug my own article on lethal injection developments entitled "Finding Bickel Gold in a Hill of Beans," in which I urged Congress and state legislators to do more to clean up the lethal injection mess.
