Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder expressed significant concerns about capital punishment during an interview with the Marshall Project published Monday. Holder brought up this year’s series of botched executions and raised the issue that wrongly convicted people may be executed. “I very much disagree with Justice Scalia’s certitude that we have never put to death an innocent person,” Holder said. “I think at some point we will find a person who was put to death and who should not have been, who was not guilty of a crime.”
