Arkansas must be going for a World record in Death Penalty executions.
And one would be think so, as the last man executed in Arkansas was in 2005.

In fact , no state has executed this many people in such a short span since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.
The closest was Texas, which executed eight men in both May and June of 1997.
But why the assembly line of death?
Well the chemical used in lethal injections midazolam, an anesthetic used in the lethal injection cocktail, expires at the end of the month.
So Arkansas plans to kill all these men in a limited time period after Easter
I dunno whether you guys are pro or anti capital punishment and these Men committed some horrible crimes, but killing them all in one go
seems a bit obscene.. I dunno maybe the magnitude of 8 executions over a short period of time, may warn others not to follow in these guys footsteps.
