James Barber is scheduled to be executed on Thursday in Alabama, for the murder of Dorothy Epps in 2001. It's the first execution since Governor Kay Ivey paused capital punishment in the state and ordered a "top-to-bottom" review of death penalty protocols after the state failed to execute two inmates last year.
Host Scott Detrow speaks with The Atlantic's Elizabeth Bruenig. She reported extensively on Alabama's troubles with lethal injection last year. She says the state's process is very opaque, and almost nothing of the review was made public.
Deborah Denno, a death penalty expert at Fordham Law School, says lethal injection problems are an issue all around the country.

The Gist - They Got A Monster
The notorious Baltimore Police unit dramatized in the HBO Series We Own This City, is examined in a new documentary I Got a Monster that veers away from the charisma of the cops and focusses on the havoc they wrought. Filmmaker Kevin Abrams, and key defense attorney and current Baltimore State Attorney Ivan Bates join us. Plus, there have always been floods, there has always been rain, but these are worse. What to do with that? And a serial killer nabbed, but not yet named.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CONSENSUS CONVERSATIONS: Remember Why We’re Here – Crypto’s True Purpose
A Consensus 2023 panel with Michael Casey, Caitlin Long, Neha Narula and Erik Voorhees.
The crash of 2022 laid bare how far the cryptocurrency industry strayed from its early ideals, becoming as opaque as the system it challenged, and this year’s banking panics have underscored its reliance on that system. On the eve of CoinDesk’s tenth anniversary, it's an appropriate moment to take stock of how the industry lost its way, and whether and how it can still deliver on its original promises of greater transparency and resilience. After all, bank runs and runaway inflation merely highlight the need to rethink the legacy paradigm.
Michael Casey, CoinDesk’s chief content officer, moderates alongside panelists:
- Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia Bank
- Neha Narula, director of Digital Currency Initiative
- Erik Voorhees, founder of ShapeShift
This episode is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and edited by Ryan Huntington, with additional production assistance from Eleanor Pahl. Cover image by Kevin Ross and the theme song is "Get Down" by Elision.
