据一位领先的死刑专家称,计划对福特胡德大屠杀案凶手尼达尔·马利克·哈桑实施枪决,可能为美国各地通过枪击方式进行更多死刑扫清道路,该专家表示,如果军方即将进行的执行顺利进行,该方法可能会获得更广泛接受。

The planned firing squad execution of the Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Malik Hasan could clear the road for more executions by gunfire across the United States, according to a leading death penalty expert, who says the method could gain traction if the military's upcoming execution goes smoothly.

福特汉姆法学院教授、死刑问题领先专家黛博拉·丹诺对福克斯新闻数字版表示:“我认为,如果此次枪决成功——这里用引号括起来的‘成功’,因为我们并不总是确切知道一个人正在经历什么——但假设这是一次非常迅速的处决,那么它被用于其他囚犯似乎也是可以想象的。”

"I think it's highly likely that if firing squad is successful here and successful in quotes because we still don't always know what a person is going through, but let's say it's a very quick execution, that it seems conceivable that it would be used on other inmates as well," Fordham Law Professor Deborah Denno, a leading expert on capital punishment, told Fox News Digital.

近年来,爱达荷州、犹他州和南卡罗来纳州等州已将枪决视为一种潜在的死刑方式,因为注射死刑正逐渐失去青睐。

In recent years, Idaho, Utah and South Carolina have been among the states to embrace the firing squad as a potential means of execution as lethal injections fall out of favor.

特朗普政府清除障碍,使福特胡德恐怖分子得以在近17年后面临陆军枪击队惩罚。特朗普政府本周早些时候宣布,哈桑将被处以枪决。他在2013年被判处死刑,原因是他在2009年对陆军基地发动的大规模枪击事件中造成13人死亡、32人受伤。

TRUMP CLEARS WAY FOR FORT HOOD TERRORIST TO FACE ARMY FIRING SQUAD NEARLY 17 YEARS AFTER MASSACRE The Trump administration announced earlier this week that Hasan will be executed by firing squad. He had been sentenced to death in 2013 after a 2009 mass shooting at the Army base killed 13 people and wounded 32 others.

五角大楼周四向福克斯新闻数字版确认,当局计划在12月3日执行死刑时进行现场直播。

The Pentagon confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that authorities plan to livestream the sentence when it's carried out on Dec. 3.

福特胡德幸存者头部中弹者誓言观看恐怖分子面对历史性枪决。丹诺解释道:“枪决被认为更加确定。”她还说:“它被认为更快,也是我认为的最不 inhumane(非人道)的执行方式。”她表示,面对枪决的死刑犯被认为比接受注射死刑或其他死刑方式的囚犯所承受的痛苦更少。

FORT HOOD SURVIVOR SHOT IN HEAD VOWS TO WATCH TERRORIST FACE HISTORIC FIRING SQUAD "The firing squad is considered to be more certain," Denno explained. "It's considered to be quicker, and it's also considered to be the, what I call the least inhumane method of execution." Condemned prisoners who face the firing squad are believed to suffer less pain than those who receive lethal injections or other methods of capital punishment, she said.

她还指出,瞄准准确的人也比其他执行方式的行刑者更多且训练更好。

People with excellent aim are also more abundant and better trained than executioners in other methods, she said.

我们拥有源源不断的专业射击人才,无论是因为他们是警察、矫正官员或类似职业而专业从事射击,她说道。"但我们也有射击技术极佳、表现卓越的人,因为这可能是他们的爱好或其他原因。因此,找到愿意这样做的人并不困难。"根据陆军的说法,最后一次美国军队处决发生在1961年4月13日,地点是堪萨斯州的利文沃思堡,处决对象是约翰·A·贝内特列兵。他因被判犯有强奸和未遂杀人罪而被绞死。

"We have an endless supply of people who are experts in shooting, either professionally, because they're a police officer, corrections officer, or something like that," she said. "But we also have people are who are excellent, superb markspeople too, because that's a hobby or whatever. So this is, it's not difficult finding somebody who's willing to do this." According to the Army, the last U.S. military execution was that of Pvt. John A. Bennett on April 13, 1961, at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. He was hanged after being convicted of rape and attempted murder.

此前,丹诺曾表示,枪决是美国历史上最人道、最有效的死刑执行方式,过程中几乎没有出现问题。

Previously, Denno has said that the firing squad is the most humane and effective means of execution, with relatively few hiccups throughout American history.

田纳西州死囚在注射两次死刑药物后幸存,失败的执行尝试引发关注。近年来,由于注射死刑药物的供应有限及其可靠性问题,仍实行死刑的一些州重新采用了枪决。

TENNESSEE DEATH ROW INMATE SURVIVES 2 LETHAL INJECTION DOSES IN FAILED EXECUTION ATTEMPT In recent years, the firing squad has returned to favor in some states that still use capital punishment over concerns including the limited availability of lethal injection drugs and their reliability.

上周,田纳西州的一名死囚在接受两次戊巴比妥注射后幸存——成为现代史上首次在死刑注射尝试中存活的人,这引发了人们对死刑注射是否应继续作为可行执行方式的新质疑。

Last week, a death row inmate in Tennessee survived two doses of pentobarbital — becoming the first person in the modern era to survive a lethal injection attempt and raising new questions about whether they should remain a viable means of execution.

CHRISTA PIKE'S ATTORNEYS SAY SHE'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER BOTCHED LETHAL INJECTIONS Christa Pike, 50, is recovering after the injections failed to kill her last week. She had been sentenced to death for the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville.

FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON Firing squads have had far fewer controversies throughout American history, Denno said. Until recently, there had only been two incidents — in 1877 and again in 1951. "Of course there haven't been that many firing squad executions, but otherwise, given everything about the firing squad, these shooters should not be missing their target," she said.

直到去年,当围绕南卡罗来纳州对42岁的双重杀人犯米卡尔·马赫迪的处决提出质疑时,情况才发生变化,她说。

That was until last year, when questions arose surrounding the South Carolina execution of 42-year-old double murderer Mikal Mahdi, she said.

马赫迪于2004年杀害了两人。他们是一名名叫克里斯托弗·博格斯的店员,马赫迪在他检查身份证时向其头部开枪;以及一名下班的警察詹姆斯·迈尔斯,他被连续开枪击中八枪并在自己家外被点燃。

发送线索给我们 但处决之后,他的律师提出担忧,称三发子弹中没有一发击中他心脏,正如原本预期的那样,引发人们对这名杀警者是否遭到报复的担忧。有线索吗?

SEND US A TIP But after his execution, his lawyers raised concerns that none of the three bullets fired struck him in the heart as intended, prompting concerns that the cop-killer had been retaliated against. GOT A TIP?

“射击者未击中预定目标区域,证据表明他仅被两颗子弹击中,而非规定的三颗,”马赫迪辩方聘请的法医病理学家乔纳森·阿登博士说。“因此,枪伤造成的内部伤害性质导致了更长的死亡过程。”马赫迪案中的行刑者未被公开身份,但丹诺表示,他们大概是经验丰富的射手。

"The shooters missed the intended target area and the evidence indicates that he was struck by only two bullets, not the prescribed three," said Dr. Jonathan Arden, a forensic pathologist hired by Mahdi's defense. "Consequently, the nature of the internal injuries from the gunshot wounds resulted in a more prolonged death process." The executioners in Mahdi's case have not been publicly identified, but Denno said that they were presumably experienced shooters.
