Earlier this month, Governor Asa Hutchinson issued execution dates for eight men on death row, all to be carried out over the course of 10 days. He didn’t care that there’s a chance at least two of them may be innocent, or that several others suffer mental disabilities that cross the line into the realm of handicaps. The mindset behind these rapid fire executions should scare all Americans. But perhaps one of the scariest parts, for me, is knowing I could have been the ninth man on the state’s death list.
