Extractions: Dead Man Walking Law and Law-Related Resources introduction general information specific issues and organizations tip of the iceberg What are the legal issues behind capital punishment? introduction The legal processes which lead to an execution are, by their nature, complex, expensive, and require a great deal of time. In Washington State, competent attorney representation, evidence gathering, trial through both guilt and sentencing phases, post conviction review, clemency petitioning, and other proceedings can take up to 10 years or more and cost well over $300,000. The use of capital punishment has stimulated no shortage of articles, books and organizations which take one side or the other. Understanding the issues involved requires clear, critical thinking and good research resources. It is with this goal in mind that we offer the following annotated webliography for you to consult while you ponder the great issues raised in Helen Prejean's Dead Man Walking general information Non-partisan Cornell's Death Penalty page : Presents a readable and brief overview of death penalty law. Includes references to historic Supreme Court opinions, relevant state and federal statutes, as well as additional sources of information on related capital punishment topics such as juveniles and the mentally ill.

This week, more than 65 American religious leaders asked President Bush not to execute McVeigh and to impose a moratorium on all Federal executions. Leaders of the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church USA, the United Church of Christ, Catholics Against Capital Punishment, the Quakers, and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations signed a letter stating the pain of McVeigh's victims, of their community, and of the nation "cannot be healed through the retribution of capital punishment or by vengeance." Last week, speaking for the U.S. Catholic Bishops, Cardinals Roger Mahony of Los Angeles and William Keeler of Baltimore reiterated the Catholic Church's longtime opposition to capital punishment, saying executing McVeigh will not bring healing or closure. Rather, the Cardinals said, "it will be just one more killing."

Extractions: Capital punishment , also referred to as the death penalty , is the judicially ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime , often called a capital offense or a capital crime . Some jurisdictions that practice capital punishment restrict its use to a small number of criminal offences, principally treason and murder . In recent years in the United States, these have also included killings that occur during the course of some other violent felony, such as robbery or rape . Prisoners who have been sentenced to death are usually kept segregated from other prisoners in a special part of the prison pending their execution. In some places this segregated area is known as " Death Row Historicallyand still today under certain systems of lawthe death penalty was applied to a wider range of offenses, including robbery or theft . It has also been frequently used by the military for looting insubordination mutiny , etc.
