Enough is enough. It’s time for America to end executions.  

A prominent advocate calls for ending the death penalty after a series of flawed executions and the military’s decision to broadcast the lethal injection of a convicted individual, raising ethical and procedural concerns over the practice’s reliability and transparency. The move by the Pentagon to livestream the execution of a high-profile case underscores growing scrutiny over how capital punishment is carried out, particularly when technical failures and public accountability clash with long-standing debates on justice and human rights. Critics argue that such developments further expose the death penalty’s inconsistencies and moral ambiguities, fueling calls for its outright abolition. The piece examines whether these recent controversies could shift public and political opinion on a punishment that has long divided legal and ethical discourse.

An opinion piece by Yasmin Cader argues for the abolition of the death penalty following several botched executions and the Pentagon's announcement of plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan.
