佛罗里达州、印第安纳州和阿拉巴马州定于周四执行死刑。这是今年第二次在一天内处决三人。金·钱德勒,大卫·费舍尔印第安纳州一名承认在一场房屋火灾中杀害两名儿童的男子定于周四被处决,这是美国当天计划执行的三例注射死刑中的第一例。
Florida, Indiana and Alabama are scheduled to carry out executions Thursday. It's the second time this year that three people will be put to death on the same day. KIM CHANDLER, DAVID FISCHER An Indiana man who admitted killing two children in a house fire was set to be executed in the first of three lethal injections scheduled for Thursday in the U.S.
佛罗里达州和阿拉巴马州也计划执行死刑,这将标志着今年第二次在一天内处决三人。在田纳西州对克里斯塔·派克的死刑执行失败后,死刑再次受到审视,尽管自她上个月在两次注射戊巴比妥后幸存以来,法院已驳回了暂停其他死刑执行的请求。
Florida and Alabama were also set to carry out executions, which would mark the second time this year that three people would be put to death on the same day. The death penalty has faced renewed scrutiny following Tennessee’s failed execution of Christa Pike although courts have rejected efforts to halt other executions since she survived two lethal doses of pentobarbital last month.
律师曾请求判处印第安纳州男子杰弗里·魏斯海特终身监禁。魏斯海特被判于2010年在埃文斯维尔地区一处住宅内纵火,烧死了女友的两名分别为8岁和5岁的孩子,这起谋杀显然与这对情侣关系恶化有关。
Lawyers had asked for life sentence for Indiana man Jeffrey Weisheit was convicted of setting a fire that killed his girlfriend’s two children, ages 8 and 5, at a home in the Evansville area in 2010, murders apparently related to the couple’s deteriorating relationship.
律师希望共和党州长迈克·布劳恩允许现年50岁的魏斯海特接受脑部扫描,以强化他们关于他有头部受伤和精神健康问题病史的主张。布劳恩拒绝了这一请求,同时也驳回了一项将刑期减为终身监禁的请求。
Lawyers wanted Republican Gov. Mike Braun to allow Weisheit, 50, to undergo brain scans in an effort to reinforce their argument that he has a history of head injuries and mental health problems. Braun declined, and he also turned down a request to reduce the sentence to life in prison.
魏斯海特最新的异议集中在州政府计划使用从一家药房购买的致命药物上,该药房下周将在印第安纳州药房委员会面临纪律听证会。印第安纳州惩教署表示,他们“有信心以人道的方式执行”死刑。佛罗里达州即将追平去年的死刑执行纪录在佛罗里达州,杰西·瓜尔达多供认并迅速认罪,承认于2004年在沃尔顿县一名75岁女子的家中将她刺死,随后偷走了她的首饰盒、80美元和其他贵重物品,以维持他的毒瘾。这名女子曾帮助他找到工作和住所。
Weisheit’s latest objection centered on the state’s planned use of lethal drugs purchased from a pharmacy that is facing a disciplinary hearing next week at the Indiana Pharmacy Board. The Indiana Department of Correction said it’s confident “in our ability to humanely carry out” the execution. Florida on the verge of tying last year’s execution record In Florida, Jesse Guardado confessed and quickly pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing a 75-year-old woman inside her Walton County home in 2004 before stealing her jewelry box, $80 and other valuables to support his drug habit. She had helped him get a job and housing.
联邦上诉法院在2024年表示,现年64岁的瓜尔达多在其案件的死刑判决阶段获得了“充分且公正”的听证。
A federal appeals court in 2024 said Guardado, now 64, had received a “full and fair” hearing during the death penalty phase of his case.
今年以来,美国共执行了32次死刑,其中佛罗里达州执行了超过一半。即将于1月卸任的德桑蒂斯表示,他的目标是为那些等待了数十年等待死刑判决得以执行的家庭伸张正义。
Florida has carried out more than half the 32 total executions in the U.S. so far this year. DeSantis, who leaves office in January, has said his goal is to bring justice to families who have waited decades for the death sentences to be carried out.
阿拉巴马州男子因19岁时的杀人罪被定罪 迈克尔·泰勒,现年54岁,面临在阿拉巴马州被执行死刑,距离他在盖兹登一对老年夫妇家中抢劫时用金属棒将两人殴打致死已过去35年。警方在一小时车程外的伯明翰逮捕了当时年仅19岁的他,缴获了受害者的凯迪拉克轿车。这将是该州今年的第三次执行死刑。
Alabama man convicted for killings when he was 19 Michael Taylor, 54, faces execution in Alabama, 35 years after fatally beating an older couple with a metal bar during a robbery in their Gadsden home. Police arrested the 19-year-old with the victims’ Cadillac, an hour away in Birmingham. The execution would be the state’s third this year.
死刑反对者曾敦促共和党籍州长凯·艾维将泰勒的刑罚减为终身监禁,并指出他在作案时年纪尚轻、心智不成熟。她拒绝了这一请求。
Death penalty opponents had urged Republican Gov. Kay Ivey to reduce Taylor’s sentence to life in prison, noting his age and immaturity at the time of the killings. She declined.
“如果州政府处决迈克尔,处决的不是那个犯下人生中最可怕错误的19岁少年。而是如今坐在牢房里的那个成熟、受人尊敬、敬畏上帝的男人,”“废除死刑希望项目”的埃丝特·布朗说。
“If the state kills Michael, it is not the 19-year-old who made the worst mistake of his life who it kills. But the mature, well-respected, God-fearing man sitting in that cell today,” said Esther Brown of Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty.
在一名法官裁定氮气处决方式违宪后,该州计划改用注射死刑执行泰勒的死刑。他的律师反对临时改用注射死刑,因为泰勒几年前已选择氮气作为执行方式,但一名法官驳回了泰勒的主张。
The state plans to execute Taylor by lethal injection after a judge declared a nitrogen gas method unconstitutional. His attorneys objected to the last-minute switch to lethal injection since he selected nitrogen gas as his method several years ago, but a judge ruled against Taylor.
