Executioners whitewashed accounts of deaths as Trump rushed death penalty spree

Their sworn accounts raise questions about whether officials misled courts to ensure executions were done before death-penalty-opponent Joe Biden became president.

Executioners who put 13 inmates to death in the last months of the Trump administration likened the process of dying by lethal injection to falling asleep and called gurneys "beds" and final breaths "snores."

But those tranquil accounts are at odds with reports by the Associated Press and other media witnesses of how prisoners' stomachs rolled, shook, and shuddered as the pentobarbital took effect inside the U.S. penitentiary death chamber in Terre Haute, Indiana. The AP witnessed every execution.

The sworn accounts by executioners, which government filings cited as evidence the lethal injections were going smoothly, raise questions about whether officials misled courts to ensure the executions scheduled from July to mid-January were done before death penalty opponent Joe Biden became president.
