This week, I really wanted to look at some of the big cases to come from California's death row. The three cases that really stood out to me were some of the big changes that happened on their Condemned Row including their first time using the gas chamber and their first execution after the de facto moratoriums in the 70s. I also looked at their last execution and how it has affected the state since. 

I hope you enjoy it! Have...

The case focuses on domestic violence in Pakistan and a bill that has been making its way through their Senate that will help put an end to the crippling normality of abuse in the country. 

In other news, the Supreme Court has declined to hear a GA case regarding intellectu...

This week's deep dive focuses on California's death row. There's been a lot of close calls with this one but for some reason, California still keeps a tight hold on its death row. Why is this the case even though the state hasn't had an execution since 2006? 


I hope you enjoy it!

This week, I watched the documentary The Phantom and I was inspired to talk about Carlos DeLuna, a death row inmate in Texas that may have been wrongfully executed. The case is actually pretty insane because it might have been a case of mistaken identity and police error. Buckle up folks because this is a wild story!

Arizona made national and international headlines the past month after documents obtained by the newspaper The Guardian showed that Arizona was retrofitting its almost 80-year-old gas chamber for upcoming executions. Not only this, but the purchase of Zyklon B, an insecticide used during the Holocaust to execute Jews in Auschwitz, was also purchased by Arizona's DOC. 

Why is this a problem and what are the repercussions of its...

Hi guys! It's been a while since I posted an episode but I am back.  This week, I wanted to dive into the case of Lezmond Mitchell, the sole Native American on federal death row. He is set to be executed on August 26th so I thought it would be a perfect time to talk about his case and the Navajo Nation's fight to commute his sentence to life imprisonment.  What are your thoughts on the federal government going through with this exe...
