SALTER: Rationale to keep executions easy, quiet flawed

SID SALTER: Executions aren’t supposed to be easy, quiet or hidden

The legislative rationale behind Senate Bill 2237 presumes falsely that the business of taking an inmate’s life as punishment for a capital crime should be easy, quiet, free from confrontation or protest, and hidden as much as possible from public view or scrutiny. That rationale is incredibly flawed.
