A shame we can’t view our laws finally being carried out after phony appeals and delays by billable hours shysters.
No more public allowed——
“The largest crowd to view an execution in the United States was estimated at 20,000 people for the 1936 hanging of Rainey Bethea in Owensboro, Kentucky. This was also the last public execution in the U.S. before laws changed to prohibit public attendance. While it was the largest crowd for a single execution, a mass execution of 38 Dakota men in Minnesota in 1862 drew an estimated 4,000 spectators.”
I admit, one drawback would be like the movie with Susan Hayward I Want To Live and the stupid sob story junk in The Green Mile.
But where is the sympathy for all the victims?
You never hear about the victims. The only way to find out about them is to do your own research on the internet. But we hear everything about the condemned’s last sumptuous meal.
And what does that tell you?!
RE: But we hear everything about the condemned’s last sumptuous meal.
Like the Kurt Vonnegut passage where the criminal condemned to be executed could choose anything he wanted from the menu of the restaurant at the Howard Johnson’s next door.
In Japan they just get a one or two hour notice. Their family finds out after the fact.
“Bryant will have until Oct. 31 to choose if he wants to die by lethal injection, firing squad or in the electric chair. Since the long pause, four inmates have chosen lethal injection and two have died by bullets.”
Let me know what his last meal was.....
Six months after the final appeal pending an order from the Minister of Justice. However, the time period excludes requests of retrial or pardons.
Death row is 5-7 years, but many over 10 years.
Japanese announcements are deliberate because of suicides that were taking place when the announcements were made days before. This is why they now do hours before. The 28-day here states that the attorneys get one final hearing. Remember, in 1991 there was an attempt by Donald Henry Gaskins to commit suicide before his execution.
In Japan the uncertainty could last years. They could notify you any time during those years that you will die in less than a couple of hours. That has got to be tougher.
“killed a man, then burned the victim’s body with cigarettes”
How about tit for tat for his killer?
The perp will say, “Cruel and unusual punishment,” which some leftist judge will affirm.
Prisoners rights clash with the majority of socitey.
How long was his rap sheet, and how long did it take to get to an exucution date?
Over 30 in Tennessee.
