Resumen

Este artículo presenta un análisis fenomenológico cuyo objetivo es conocer la experiencia de los condenados a muerte a partir de sus últimas palabras. La muestra se compone de 61 transcripciones de las personas ejecutadas por el Estado de Texas entre 2011 y 2017,que fueron analizadas temáticamente. Entre los temas principales se encuentran la expresión de afecto, las creencias religiosas, el arrepentimiento, la aceptación, el agradecimiento y el sentido de cierre. La mayor parte de los temas hallados son de carácter positivo, lo que es coherente con los hallazgos de investigaciones previas. Al ser un método experiencial y descriptivo, la evaluación de la integridad metodológica ofrece escasa dificultad.
