the First “the scaffold” in an Indiana Federal prison Terre Haute on Monday will go convicted in 1996 for a triple murder Daniel Lee. The pandemic COVID-19 the prisoner in the last few months couldn’t see his lawyer. Against his execution was made by the sentencing judge. And relatives of victims of the offender was requested to postpone the execution. They believe that the convicted person received a “rig” is unfair, and for the murder of the couple and their 8-year-old daughter has to meet other people. Despite this, all appeals to the transfer penalty was rejected by the authorities, including the Supreme court of the United States. It is expected that If, as and two others sentenced to “the tower”, located in this prison, the criminals, will introduce lethal injections, causing respiratory failure.
Bureau of prisons, the U.S. announced that it will be allowed to be present at this “procedure” to the families of the criminals and their victims. With one caveat – they will have to wear protective masks and gloves. The clause rightly, because the coronavirus has hit the prison system in the United States especially hard and hundreds of victims of the infectious disease in the country with the highest prison population in the world – 2.3 million people sit in “places of confinement” – was among the prisoners and their guards.
Public-policy debates about the need to abandon the practice of the death penalty are in the “democratic” United States for a long time. Surprisingly, but mostly the conversations are not about the fact of killing a man, and about how the humane thing to death to prisoners. So, the protracted dispute about the drugs for lethal injections led to a long pause on the execution in the Federal penitentiary system – from 2003 to the present day, capital punishment in the execution was not carried out. However, in the prisons of the several States prisoners executed without stopping, and various methods – from the electric chair to the gas chamber. Last time this happened was at the beginning of last February, when the criminal killed in the “house of death” Texas prison, the newspaper USA Today.
Recall that a measure is permitted, and is applied in 28 of the 50 us States. And, judging by the opinion polls, most Americans support this method of punishment for serious crimes. So, conducted last month, the research service of studying of public opinion, “Gallup” showed that the death penalty today are 54 percent of respondents. The point in dispute about the executions at the Federal level, recently delivered to U.S. attorney General William Barr. “The American people, acting through Congress and leaders of both political parties, demands that the accused in the turn��other crimes received the death penalty,” said the official in June. According to recent information, his unenviable fate in the United States expect more than 2,600 sentenced. It is known that in 2019, was executed 22 offenders, in 2018 – 25.
In the context of withdrawal of 17-year moratorium on executions in the Federal prisons of the USA drew the attention of the selecting authorities not only time, but specific criminals to resume this practice. What is happening in last months riots in the U.S. caused by the aggravation of racial contradictions, have wild rampant crime on the streets of American cities. In new York the number of murders in recent days has increased by 30 percent, shooting incidents by 130 per cent, robberies and robberies by 118 per cent. The New York Post recently came under the desperate headline “Devastated by crime city asking for help!”. Were more likely to shoot in Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, and Chicago – uncontrolled crime everywhere is out of police control. This is not surprising because the police themselves in opposition to US President Donald Trump policies due to political reasons “dunked his face in the dirt”, was hounded and threatened to withdraw funding for the use of force against violators of the law. Is it any wonder that American officers-law enforcement officers now retiring EN masse, unwilling to tolerate the actions of indecisive politicians and an Orgy in the streets, with which nothing can be done.
In such times of crisis is indicative of the resumption of executions in Federal prisons should “cool the heads” inveterate criminals seem to have decided in the White house. But at the same time to solve another task – to withdraw the accusations against the current administration of the United States in racial bias of the President of the trump. After all, the role of the first “suicide bomber”, who was executed July 13, chosen for a brutal killer of the couple and their young child. 47-year-old Daniel Lee belongs to the group of white supremacists, and a stylized swastika around his neck speaks for itself. Political implications of Washington’s decision “obvious”, said the non-governmental organizations Information center on the death penalty (Death Penalty Information Center). And noted that this step is unlikely to affect the current level of crime in America, because the correlation of capital punishment the number of crimes has not been proven by anyone yet.
