About this conversation
In this week’s episode we discussed the controversial plans to live-stream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, and the decision to cancel the broadcast. We explore the legal and ethical questions surrounding the proposal, the debate over public access to executions, and the broader implications of turning capital punishment into a public spectacle.
