A specious legal case, I hope someone can answer it.

1. The immediate execution of the death penalty is an inhuman punishment, which I don't agree with. However, your question is not specious.

2. Whether a person repents or loses his memory after committing a crime cannot change that he or she has committed a crime that is harmful to society, and he or she must be punished by law. I am opposed to the use of the death penalty for sanctions, but I don't think this person should not be punished.

3. Compare: If a criminal repents completely because of his behavior, and another criminal has no guilt because of passive and permanent memory loss. I think the former should be pardoned more than the latter! Because the former is more moral than the latter.

4. If crime is a kind of evil, punishment is the best way to clean up the evil. Because I think punishment is a kind of punishment for criminals on the surface and comfort for the relatives of the victims at the same time, but in essence it is an opportunity for criminals to clear their sins. If it is the death penalty, then even this opportunity is gone. Therefore, I am against the death penalty.

5, if my statement is true, your problem will not be a problem, right? From the perspective of jurisprudence and morality, I prefer the pardon of criminals who voluntarily repent, rather than the pardon of criminals who passively lose their memories. For a criminal who passively loses his memory, only after he has served his sentence can he clean up his previous crimes and start a new life.

6. For example, Williams, the 11st condemned prisoner executed in the United States (counted from the resumption of the death penalty in 1976), was recognized as a murderer who had completely repented, but was still executed in December last year. The executed murderer was nominated for the Nobel Prize 1 times for his various articles on educating young people against gangs in prison. (see /a/251214/786.htm)

7. The most democratic country, such as the United States, does not give up the heavy punishment for violating human rights as easily as you think. For example, it was not until March 1, 25 that the Supreme Court of the United States passed a resolution with a narrow majority of 5 votes in favor and 4 votes against, ruling that the death penalty for prisoners under the age of 18 at the time of the crime was unconstitutional, so it decided to cancel this kind of punishment.

Previously, many countries, including Canada and Mexico, many Nobel Peace Prize winners, former American diplomats and the largest doctors' group in the United States issued joint appeals for many times, urging the US Supreme Court to abolish the death penalty system for juvenile offenders.

The United States was once one of the few countries that allowed the execution of juvenile offenders under the age of 18, but this cruel punishment system made the United States face diplomatic isolation and was accused of "hypocrisy" on human rights issues.

Nobel Peace Prize winners, including former US President Carter and former Soviet President Gorbachev, said in a statement: "The United States itself has not fulfilled its most basic human rights commitments."

The European Union and other countries emphasize that the execution of juvenile offenders "violates the most basic human rights norms stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations and widely recognized by the international community."

According to statistics, between 199 and 23, the number of juvenile offenders executed in the United States exceeded the sum of other countries in the world. During this period, the United States executed 19 juvenile offenders, while other countries executed 16.

The death penalty system has often become the crux of disputes between the United States and its allies, and most of the American allies are reluctant to extradite criminals who may be sentenced to death in the United States to the United States.

However, there are some organizations in the United States that support the death penalty system. Lawyers' associations in Alabama, Delaware, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Virginia say these states have the right to decide which juvenile offenders should be executed. They said: "According to our experience, it can be concluded that it would be a very arbitrary and extremely bad decision to waive the death penalty for juvenile offenders aged 16 to 17 regardless of the seriousness of the case, the complexity of the case and the evil degree of the crime, which will bring more serious consequences."

Attachment: Nominating Nobel is still in the death penalty

American gangster has been in prison for 24 years, and has been nominated by Nobel Prize in Literature for four times and Peace Prize for six times

On the 12th, California Governor Schwarzenegger refused to grant Williams a "death pardon". Williams, who served 24 years in prison, wrote many books for teenagers and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and Literature Prize many times, was executed in California.

After the Supreme Court of California and the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of the United States refused to postpone the death sentence of former gang leader Stanley Tucky Williams, California Governor Schwarzenegger also refused to grant Williams a "death pardon" on the 12th. At : 35 local time on the 13th, Williams was executed in San Quentin State Prison, California.

Schwarzenegger refuses Amnesty

As Williams' execution date is approaching, many Californians spontaneously took to the streets to plead for the former gang leader. More than 5, people, including many Hollywood stars, told Schwarzenegger that Williams should be spared from death, considering that he wrote a book to warn the gang about the dangers during his more than 2 years in prison. To their disappointment, after the court refused to postpone his death sentence, Schwarzenegger issued a statement on the 12th, refusing to "pardon" Williams.

Williams is the 12th executed prisoner in California since the United States resumed the death penalty in 1977, and he is also the 11st executed prisoner in the United States. About 2 opponents of the death penalty gathered outside San Quentin State Prison, waiting for Williams' execution time. They held various demonstration slogans and shouted slogans.

At : 35 local time on the 13th, Williams was officially executed and received lethal poison injection. A prison spokesman said that one hour before his execution, Williams entered the execution room and waited. He put on new jeans and blue overalls. Williams gave up the "last supper" and only drank two cartons of milk.

a * * * 39 people witnessed the death penalty injection. The nurse who injected poison couldn't find the blood vessels in Williams' arm at first, which made Williams very angry. Exhausted, he nodded to the witness and volunteered to cooperate with the nurse. When Williams was declared dead, his supporters shouted in unison, "California just killed an innocent man."

Williams abandoned evil and became an "anti-gang" radical. Williams wrote 1 books in prison to persuade young people not to go astray and join gangs. In 1998, after Williams published the book Life in Prison, he used the royalties to launch the "Internet Street Peace Plan", which is a plan to promote the prevention of violence outside the campus through the Internet. His life story was also changed into the movie Redemption.

Because of his outstanding performance in prison, Williams became a local "anti-violence spokesman". A few months ago, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the sixth year in a row, and he was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature for four times. Williams said in an interview with the Associated Press reporter before his death: "I no longer have any shadow of the past. I used to have no happiness in my life, but now I feel very happy. I feel peaceful and happy here (prison). "

About the death penalty in the United States

Death penalty pardon.

according to the constitution of the United States, the president has the power to pardon criminals without giving any reasons. There are similar provisions in the state constitutions of various States, and death row inmates can ask the governor for pardon. A week ago, Virginia prisoners who were supposed to be the 1th death penalty in the United States were pardoned from the governor.

ways of death penalty.

At present, the main way to execute the death penalty in the United States is to inject venom. That's how Williams died. Generally, the injection process begins with arm disinfection, and then the syringe is inserted, with 3 doses of liquid medicine. The first dose is equivalent to an anesthetic, which makes the death row unconscious, the second dose is to destroy the respiratory system, and the third dose is to stop the heart function. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Then, by forensic identification, confirm the death.
