Dear Ms. Walenciak:
My take on your article, with all sources provided.
1) Sadly, a normal anti-death penalty article, meaning only compassion for the poor murderers, but none for their innocent murder victims, for whom all unanimous jurors, 480 for the 40 on federal death row, found the death penalty the most just sanction, in those horrendous crimes.
Look up those innocents murdered and their lives and loves and write about them, next time.
Avoiding compassion for the innocent murder victims, often raped and tortured, is the pattern as detailed, here:

AKA - Full Rebuttal of Sir Richard Branson & His Death Penalty Comments
2) Caring for the innocent is, always, a wonderful thing, but how do you, not, mention these?
Since 1973
some 20,000 ADDITIONAL innocents were murdered by those KNOWN murderers that we have allowed to murder, again - recidivist murderers
some 500,000 ADDITIONAL innocents were murdered by KNOWN criminals that we have allowed to harm again - recidivist criminals
as rapes, robberies and other assaults are 7 times the murder numbers
some 3.5 million ADDITIONAL innocents were raped, robbed and/or otherwise assaulted by those KNOWN criminals that we allowed to harm again - recidivist criminals
It's astonishing how often these are eliminated from the discussions or forgotten. Some concept of degree, compassion and proportion are needed.
3) You are unaware that there is a 71-83% fraud rate in the claims of the "innocent"/exonerated" removed from death row:
The Death Row "Exonerated"/"Innocent" Frauds
71-83% Error/Fraud Rate in Death Row "Innocent" Claims,
Well Known Since 1998
as well as this:
4) The death penalty/executions protect and save innocent lives, in six ways, better than does a life sentence, as detailed:
The Death Penalty: Saving More Innocent Lives
Deterrence, Death Penalties & Executions
Where is your compassion?
5) In 2014, depending upon category, violent crime rates dropped to 40-60 year lows, an incredible accomplishment in sparing innocent victims, based upon a huge increase in USA's incarceration rate.
Truly, a compassionate outcome, yet, rarely mentioned.
6) Of course, Pres. Biden will commute all federal death sentences.
During Biden's term, he, intentionally, allowed death penalty cases to go forward to trial, as well as continued all appeals, in other cases, in an effort to waste as much money and emotion, as possible. Plus, Biden asked for and welcomed countless murderers, rapists, other criminals and terrorists into our country, with little or no supervision, but lots of perks, while providing billions of extra dollars to the cartels and to Iran, the greatest supporter of terror in the world.
Biden is compelled to make murderers happy. Biden, anti-death penalty folks and murderers will cheer.
Look up each one of the innocent murder victims, of those 40 murderers, and research their lives and loves, then, read the coroner's report. Then, publish those.

Research, w/sources, w/fact checking/vetting & critical thinking, as required of anyone within a public policy debate and which rebut all anti-death penalty claims.
Most will realize that the media has been using only anti-death penalty claims and, then, failed to fact check, vet, not use critical thinking, with that research, while avoiding all pro-death penalty research and experts, for decades. How do I know most will realize this? Because they wouldn't have seen any of this, prior:
