It is estimated that 3% of U.S. executions in the period from 1890 to 2010 were botched. In the 2014 book, Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty, Austin Sarat, a professor of jurisprudence and political science at Amherst College, describes the history of flawed executions in the U.S. during that period.
Unlike some other eagle species, bald eagles rarely take on evasive or dangerous prey on their own. The species mainly target prey which is much smaller than themselves, with most live fish caught weighing 1 to 3 kg (2.2 to 6.6 lb) and most waterbirds preyed weighing 0.2 to 2.7 kg (0.44 to 5.95 lb).
Bald Eagles mostly eat fish and waterfowl. They have amazingly strong talons, which can squeeze up to 1000 pounds per square inch. (Some adult male humans can squeeze about 180 to give you a comparison). This allows the bald eagles to lock their prey and hold onto it while they are flying. Bald Eagles can usually carry a fish that is half the eagle's body weight (the fish can be up to 9 lbs.). They also happen to be good swimmers. Female eagles are bigger than males, so that they can sit on their eggs to incubate them. Bald Eagles are at the top of their food chain, and don't have very many predators. They have amazing eyesight and could see the words Quarter Dollar on a quarter if it were a football field away from them.
