I'm a day late with this, my apologies. On the 9th of March 1950 Albert Pierrepoint and Sydney Dernley killed Timothy Evans at Pentonville Prison in the manner then prescribed in British law, the 'long drop' form of hanging. Evans had been born in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales on 20 November 1924...

New Zealand is a country of 4.5 million. Multiply by 70 to expect the equivalent incidence of crime in America. I would be interested in views here, was this another man hanged for a crime not comitted, or unproved? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_James_Bolton

Linky.

I am not sure what to make of this. The details are sparse, and I beleive it is unclear whether this woman was executed for sorcery, or for swindling people. It does not even say how she was executed. I hope it was not by stoning. It staggers me to think of people being charged and put to...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16150381 There are several ways to look at this story. A superstitious religious court executes poor lady (Shock! Horror!). A self-proclaimed psychic healer gets a sharp lesson in political reality. A barbaric system shoots itself in the foot. etc...

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/01/19/iran.executions/ Most of the executed are of course Kurds, but that's just a coincidence, right? :rolleyes: I wonder what are the numbers of executions in China. If their number of execution per capita is the world's biggest, it must be tremendous.

Executed murderer may have been innocent of the crime after the only evidence (a strand of hair) linking him to the crime scene was found not to belong to him. This was also the last capital case involving George W. Bush, who was governor at the time...

I heard a story on NR this morning about a man on death row in Georgia. Several witnesses have recanted their story and want a new trial. The reporter's words didn't overtly call for retrial, but her tone made it clear that she was lamenting this obvious miscarriage of justice. I am not so...

I'm trying to see why this is a bad thing.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/12/14/diaz.execution.ap/index.html I was reading the above article and paused after reading this line, "If Floridians could witness the pain and the agony of the executed man's family, they would end the death penalty." My first thought was "If Floridians could...
