Alabama Executes James Barber as It Resumes Lethal Injections
-------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from Alabama, the state executed James Barber early this
morning after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request for a stay. It's
the first execution by lethal injection in Alabama following a pause
last year to review a series of botched executions. The group Reprieve
said, "There's no humane method of execution. Executions aren't working
- and it's torture."
