Update: Biden commutes 37 death sentences
On Dec. 23, in the final weeks of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted the federal death sentences of 37 prisoners to life in prison without the possibility of parole. All but three death row prisoners received commutations, including several who didn't ask for clemency. Now back in office, President Trump is seeking to restart executions at the high-security prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, where all federal death sentences are carried out. Trump says he also plans to pursue capital punishment in future criminal cases. In this bonus episode, we'll hear from one of the prisoners whose sentence was commuted as well as a woman whose mother was among the victims of a racist attack at a church in South Carolina. Her killer remains on federal death row. — Rush to Kill is available at <a href="https://wfiu.org/rushtokill">wfiu.org/rushtokill</a>. <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rush-to-kill/id1711105432">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/42LOBAYUaNbHMrFwPnsq36?si=4e3514ac7c9b4a3c">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://f.prxu.org/5307/feed-rss.xml">RSS</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/organizations/s385">More podcasts from WFIU</a>

Episode 8: In The Shadows
In this final episode, we’ll take a look at the final execution of the Trump administration, which was legally unusual. This episode will also include discussion of the “Shadow Docket” — and why some experts argue that the death penalty is corrupting our legal system, allowing the Supreme Court to make decisions without explaining why. — Rush to Kill is available at <a href="https://wfiu.org/rushtokill" target="_blank">wfiu.org/rushtokill</a>. <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rush-to-kill/id1711105432" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/42LOBAYUaNbHMrFwPnsq36?si=4e3514ac7c9b4a3c" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://f.prxu.org/5307/feed-rss.xml" target="_blank">RSS</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/organizations/s385" target="_blank">More podcasts from WFIU</a>

Episode 7: Intellectual Disability
In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court barred the government from carrying out death sentences of people with intellectual disabilities. But in its final weeks in office, the Trump administration set dates for two intellectually disabled men. Corey Johnson was the second person after Alfred Bourgeois whose attorneys presented evidence he was intellectually disabled. Coming up in the final episode, we'll see how the continued existence of the American death penalty is leaving its mark on our society. — Rush to Kill is available at <a href="https://wfiu.org/rushtokill" target="_blank">wfiu.org/rushtokill</a>. <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rush-to-kill/id1711105432" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/42LOBAYUaNbHMrFwPnsq36?si=4e3514ac7c9b4a3c" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://f.prxu.org/5307/feed-rss.xml" target="_blank">RSS</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/organizations/s385" target="_blank">More podcasts from WFIU</a>
