More shame. Will have to get to them after this Putin business.
My heart is broken for Uncle Ruslan.

More details on that story. It suggests the process towards that decision had been developing for a few years: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/12/...-commutations/Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 14-12-2022, 07:48.Comment

This is very good news. It's materially not very different in Oregon as the state had a moratorium in place for the last decade and hasn't actually exectuted anyone since 1997, and I think only executed 2 after the death penalty was reinstated following its removal in the 60s. There are other states where it would be a much bigger deal. But even so, removing the possibility of the death penalty is great for justice in the state.Comment

The next step after abolishing the death penalty is to fight against Life Without Parole (LWOP) and Juvenile Life Without Parole. The USA has more prisoners doing LWOP then any other country in the World.Comment

Also, 'trying a juvenile as an adult'. How do you try a juvenile as an adult just by deciding so? It makes absolutely no sense.Comment

My understanding is that commuting the sentences is not actually abolishing the penalty, just refusing to honour the sentences.Comment

No words for this barbaric idea.Comment

I imagine the "plan to stop it" would be to challenge it in the courts when it comes to that.Originally posted by Antepli Ejderha View PostComment

I am afraid that the chances of such a challenge being successful given the current state of the relevant state and federal courts (including SCOTUS) is very low.
This Suprene Court has yet to meet a method of execution that it considers to be cruel and unusual.Comment

An absolutely harrowing watch. This was the documentary that made me staunchly anti death penalty.Comment

Fitting on the day the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter was sentenced to death by a federal jury sitting in Pittsburgh.Comment
