Texas has carried out the first execution in the United States since the botched lethal injections of Christa Pike. Lawyers representing death row inmate Jamaal Howard had previously petitioned a judge to halt the execution in light of the issues surrounding Pike's case.
The recent events have renewed scrutiny surrounding capital punishment methods. Experts have argued that the botched procedures involving Pike expose what they describe as a fallacy regarding the perception of lethal injections as the most humane method of execution.
