Re: ? холстой...
Уважаемые ALL,
>Эта практика и сейчас имеет место в США, в тех штатах, где практикуют расстрел. Причем заряжают 1 из трех.
Последним заключенным растрелянным в США был Джон Алберт Тайлор. Приговор был приведен в исполнение в Юте в 1996 году.
Firing squad still remains a method of execution in Utah and Idaho, although each allow lethal injection as an alternative method and only Utah allows the inmate to choose this method. The most recent execution by this method was that of John Albert Taylor. By his own choosing, Taylor was executed by firing squad in Utah on January 26, 1996.
For execution by this method, the inmate is typically bound to a chair with leather straps across his waist and head, in front of an oval-shaped canvas wall. The chair is surrounded by sandbags to absorb the inmate's blood. A black hood is pulled over the inmate's head. A doctor locates the inmate's heart with a stethoscope and pins a circular white cloth target over it. Standing in an enclosure 20 feet away, five shooters are armed with .30 caliber rifles loaded with single rounds. One of the shooters is given blank rounds. Each of the shooters aims his rifle through a slot in the canvas and fires at the inmate. (Weisberg, 1991)
The prisoner dies as a result of blood loss caused by rupture of the heart or a large blood vessel, or tearing of the lungs. The person shot loses consciousness when shock causes a fall in the supply of blood to the brain. If the shooters miss the heart, by accident or intention, the prisoner bleeds to death slowly. (Hillman, 1992 and Weisberg, 1991)
With the passage of Utah's new law, lethal injection becomes the sole means of execution for the state's death-row inmates.
But Utah says it will make allowance for four death row inmates who have already chosen to die by firing squad.
Idaho and Oklahoma retain the firing squad on their books but have not used it in modern times.
