The Corner on National Review Online As Ernest Van den Haag noted in the pages of NR long ago, "If deserved, capital punishment should be imposed. Not to suggest it is a particularly compelling argument, but it is certainly valid to question whether it is justice to execute the murderer who makes numerous mistakes, incontrovertibly proving his guilt, while letting the smarter but no less worse murderer receive only life in prison due to a lesser body of evidence against him. I think Smith would deserve it if he were black and we’d been executing blacks “disproportionately” for years. www.nationalreview.com /thecorner/04_02_01_corner-archive.asp   (555 words)

The Columbus Dispatch Online: Archival Article Deters criticized those who fight for the legal rights of criminal defendants and mocked those people who, out of a religious or moral conviction, oppose capital punishment.

History of the Death Penalty & Recent Developments This history emphasize death penalty statistics and the constitutional history of the death penalty and is based primarily on the annual capital punishment bulletins of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice. Ohio, 438 U.S., the high court forced a number of states to again revise their death penalty statutes by ruling that the sentencing authority in a capital case must consider every possible mitigating factor to the crime rather than limiting, as Ohio had, the mitigating factors that could be considered to a specific list. The court held that, since a lesser offense was not an issue, the law's failure to allow for it did not prejudice the case; i.e., the conviction of a capital prisoner tried under a partially flawed statute need not be reversed unless it was actually touched by the imperfection. www.uaa.alaska.edu /just/death/history.html   (439 words)

The electric chair Electrocution was challenged through the Florida courts, by death row inmate Leo Jones as a "cruel and unusual" punishment, something which is banned under the American constitution. Georgia's highest court struck down the state's use of the electric chair on October 5th 2001 on the basis that death by electrocution "inflicts purposeless physical violence and needless mutilation that makes no measurable contribution to accepted goals of punishment.'' 150 men and 2 women have been electrocuted in the U.S.A. since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1977, up to December 2004 (including 5 in 2000), making it the second most common method (after lethal injection). www.richard.clark32.btinternet.co.uk /chair.html   (1106 words)

Moritz College of Law - Alumni Relations: This Month @ Moritz (May 2005) In his lecture, "Mercy, Clemency, and Capital Punishment: Two Accounts," Professor Sarat discussed two examples of the speech and writing that surround clemency, one by Governor Ryan, the other by former Ohio Governor Michael DiSalle. He focused on how governors use rhetoric and narrative in coping with the decision to spare a life or let someone die, and how they explain or justify their use of this extraordinary power.
