A witness to a botched execution in Tennessee is speaking publicly about what she saw and heard during the procedure, which failed before it was completed. Her account adds to renewed scrutiny of the state's death penalty protocols and is drawing attention to broader concerns about how executions are carried out in the United States.
Why now: Failed executions reignite ongoing debate over capital punishment and the reliability of execution methods.
