Attorney General Eric Holder called Tuesday for a moratorium on the death penalty pending a Supreme Court decision on the use of lethal injection drugs in Oklahoma.
Speaking at a luncheon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Holder, noting that he was speaking in a personal capacity and not as a member of the administration, said the "inevitable" possibility of executing an innocent individual is what makes him oppose capital punishment.
"Our system of justice is the best in the world. It is comprised of men and women who do the best they can, get it right more often than not, substantially more right than wrong," Holder said. "There's always the possibility that mistakes will be made ... It's for that reason that I am opposed to the death penalty."
He continued: "I think fundamental questions about the death penalty need to be asked. And among them, the Supreme Court's determination as to whether or not lethal injection is consistent with our Constitution is one that ought to occur. From my perspective, I think a moratorium until the Supreme Court made that determination would be appropriate."
Holder clarified that his personal views on the matter are not part of an ongoing Justice Department review of state execution practices.
Last month, the Supreme Court agreed to review a case brought by death row inmates accusing the state of Oklahoma of violating the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The case came after Oklahoma botched the execution of inmate Clayton Lockett, who was seen writhing and clenching his teeth after being administered a lethal three-drug combination. Lockett ultimately died 43 minutes after he was administered the drugs.
Holder, who is retiring pending the confirmation of his nominated successor Loretta Lynch, has long been personally opposed to the death penalty.
"I think that the issue is made real when you look at some of the things that have happened in the states over the last year or so, where you had these botched executions, where you had an inability to get the appropriate drug," Holder told The Marshall Project last year. "We've had doctors unwilling to participate in the process. I think this is pushing this country toward some really fundamental questions about -- even though, you know, people still support the death penalty by 55 percent, or whatever the number is -- some fundamental questions about continued use of the death penalty."

Attorney General Eric Holder wants a Wall Street scalp.
After years of pressure from some lawmakers, civic leaders and Occupy Wall Street protesters, the countrys No. 1 law enforcer said Tuesday he has instructed many of his 93 federal prosecutors to review any residential mortgage fraud case they have brought against a financial institution stemming from the 2008 financial crisis to see if any executive could be held accountable for the companys actions.
Both civil and criminal cases will be on the table, Holder said.
The prosecutors have been given three months to report their findings to Washington.
Holder, speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, asked the prosecutors to try to develop cases against individuals and to report back in 90 days with regard to whether they think they can successfully bring criminal or civil cases against those individuals.
The Bronx-born AG, who is stepping down from the post hes held since 2009, said Loretta Lynch, who has been nominated to replace him, will likely get those responses.
Holders move was met with instant derision from three former federal prosecutors, who spoke with The Post on the condition of anonymity.
Its a political play to give Lynch a clean slate if the Senate confirms her as well as a tacit admission that billion-dollar fines and guilty pleas havent had the deterrent effect the Department of Justice was hoping for, the former prosecutors said.
Its a little bit unseemly, one former prosecutor told The Post.
If prosecutors really thought they had something on an executive, they would have done something already, a second former prosecutor said.
