'Worse'..? They are executing people twice, then?
More than half of the states in the US have either abolished the death penalty or have formal suspensions in place, as the country’s use of the brutal punishment continues to wither on the vine.
For the 'Guardian', it's the judicially applied sentence that is 'brutal', ignoring the crimes that got them that sentence...
Oklahoma botched its first execution in six years, that of John Grant who was observed convulsing and vomiting on the gurney.

Those who died in 2021 at the hands of the Trump administration were Lisa Montgomery, a profoundly mentally-ill woman who had suffered a lifetime of abuse tantamount to torture; Corey Johnson who was severely intellectually disabled; and Dustin Higgs who indisputably did not kill anybody.
