Alabama Death Row Inmate Doubts State's Execution Capabilities

James Barber, an Alabama death row inmate set to be executed this week, expresses skepticism about the state's ability to carry out the procedure effectively. Barber, convicted of the 2001 murder of an elderly homeowner, questions the state's review of its execution protocol and lack of transparency. He remains calm about his impending death but worries about the process. Barber's lawyers are arguing before a federal appeals court to block the execution. If it proceeds, it will be the first under a new procedure approved by the state Supreme Court. Barber has found solace in Christianity and has received forgiveness from the victim's family. Other death row inmates held a vigil in support of Barber.
