Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lethal injection was adopted in the United States as a more humane method of execution and was first used in Texas in 1982?

Yes. Reference sources state lethal injection was adopted as a more humane alternative to electrocution and other methods, and that Texas first used it in 1982 to execute Charles Brooks Jr. One peer-reviewed commentary disputes that it is humane but does not address the Texas 1982 first-use fact.
