		The Governor of the state, or the President of the United States in federal death penalty cases, issues an execution warrant when a person has been sentenced to death in a local or district court, after trial and conviction, and usually after appeals are exhausted.

	House of Lords Record Office - Memorandum No. 66
		Recently, however, the Death Warrant has been subjected to a further intensive historical investigation, and this investigation, at the very least, casts some doubts on the original Gardiner doctrine concerning the final stages in the trial of the King.
		But the Wedgwood idea does not hold water; the warrant was in the possession of Hacker, and not available for the House of Commons to punish one of its members by trying to strip him of the honour of regicide.
		Either late that evening, or over the week-end, it emerged that one, or two, of the officers addressed in the warrant (not including Huncks), having brooded over their previous consent to be nominated to see to the execution, or having heard about it for the first time, indicated their unwillingness.

	WorldNetDaily: Will abortion-seekers need 'death warrants'?
		Once a mother filed for a death warrant, a guardian would be appointed to protect the rights of the unborn child.
		The court would be able to hold a trial within 30 days of the filing of the petition and a death warrant would be signed only if the court finds that the rights of the person seeking to have the abortion are superior to the right of the unborn child to live.
		If a doctor performs an abortion without a ''death warrant,'' he could be subject to up to five years imprisonment and permanent revocation of his medical license.
