Kak execute judgment on higher extent? In the hit list among countries in the world stands out China's official - the supreme measure of 470 performances a year, although people who know say really - a lot more. For China is Iran, with its Persian humanism, then Saudi Arabia. In Europe, there is no death, there is none in Canada or Mexico, as we know, the moratorium introduced in Russia.
So far, the death penalty are South Korea, Japan and the United States. Over the past 20 years alone, Texas to the light by a court verdict sent 508 people, 110 in Virginia, Florida 82 and so on.

Ohio decided to use a mixture of the sedative midazolam and hydromorphone anesthetic solution. Recently in Oklahoma executed a manner, dying, he managed to whisper - "my whole body was on fire!»

Defender Mac Gvayera raised in court the question of possible disproportionate suffering of his client. The prosecutor agreed that the proposed chemical cocktail can cause discomfort, adding - "have condemned no right to a painless death».

Our sentenced waiting for execution of the sentence since 1989, nearly a quarter of a century. All these years he had to feed, protect, heal. Calculated that a person less expensive to teach in a private school, rather than kept in prison.

Senator from Wyoming suggested shooting.

"This - he said - the most cost-effective solution to the problem».
