As shocking as this may be, news reports are that the State of Arkansas will execute eight Death Row inmates next month, over the course of ten days. 

8 Executions Over 10 Days; Two at at Time

That’s almost one execution a day, right? Well, yes.  Except reports are that the executions are planned to occur two at a time.  That’s right: Arkansas will execute these men in pairs, two executions on the same day.

Reports are that the state does not have all the proper drugs for the lethal injections.  This has not prevented the executions from being scheduled.

And why now?  Arkansas has not executed anyone for TWELVE YEARS.
