‘Dead Man Walking’ nun says Trump administration trying to rush through executions in ‘shameful killing spree’

Criminal justice advocates argue the Trump administration is trying to “rush through” as many federal executions as possible before Joe Biden, who opposes capital punishment, takes office.

Sister Helen Prejean, a long-time death penalty abolition advocate whose story is the basis for the film Dead Man Walking, said on Monday the Department of Justice is planning new executions for federal inmates soon and called it a “shameful killing spree.”

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
