Justices speak out on death penalty but executions go on
Supreme Court justices likely will weigh in on Texas plans to execute two death row inmates in the coming week, with history suggesting approvals of lethal injections over halts. Breyer and Ginsburg criticized capital punishment as arbitrary, yet the court remains poised to allow most executions. Texas scheduled back-to-back executions for Daniel Lopez and Tracy Beatty amid broader declines in capital punishment nationwide.
