‘I’m terrified I’ll be executed’: Trump win could bring spree of death row killings

The ex-president has allegedly floated hangings and televised killings, and called for the deaths of drug dealers

If Donald Trump wins the election, he is expected to pursue a spree of executions that could fast-track the cases of people on federal death row, and threaten the life of a man with a longstanding innocence claim.

Advocates for people on death row fear a second Trump term could be worse than his first, which saw an unprecedented 13 federal executions. Under Trump, more people incarcerated in the federal system were put to death than under the previous 10 presidents combined, a staggering number that raised grave human rights concerns.
