Possibly tomorrow: 1,000th execution in U.S. by lethal injection

Tomorrow, July 21, we may see the 1,000th execution in the U.S. by lethal injection, as Ohio is scheduled to kill Marvallouse Keene.

If that falls through, Texas has a July 23 execution date on the books for Roderick Newton.

This milestone is nothing short of barbaric.

You'll find a good summary of the arguments against the death penalty on website of Amnesty International USA here: www.amnestyusa.org/death-penalty
