This morning, I was one of the featured guests on HuffPost Live for a discussion on gender bias in the death penalty. As you may know the state of Texas was scheduled to execute Kimberly McCarthy today. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, State District Judge Larry Mitchell has issued a stay in McCarthy’s execution. Her new execution date is now April 3, 2013.

Thirteen years ago, I published a paper on gender discrimination in the US death penalty system, which still gets a fair amount of traffic on PhilPapers. I was happy to share the half hour with Elizabeth Rapaport, whose theory on the “domestic discount” I discuss in my article.
