The End of the Innocence: Railroading Marcellus Williams to Death Row.

The prosecutors in Williams’ case, who have been involved in at least two other wrongful convictions in death penalty cases, padded the likelihood of conviction by aggressively excluding blacks from the jury. During jury selection, the prosecution used 6 of its 9 peremptory challenges to exclude black jurors. In one instance, the prosecutor claimed he struck a black potential juror because he “looked very similar” to Williams. In another instance, the prosecutor said he rejected a black man for the jury because he worked for the Post Office and alleged that postal workers tend to be “very liberal.” He later approved a white post office employee for the jury. The jury deliberated for less than two hours (including lunch) before sentencing Williams to death.

The End of the Innocence: Railroading Marcellus Williams to Death Row

It was, as prosecutors often say, an evidence-rich crime scene. Felicia Gayle’s murderer left behind footprints in her blood, fingerprints, hair, and, most crucially, DNA on the knife used to kill her. The problem was: none of the evidence...

#Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ push to overturn conviction

“We must all question any system that would allow this to occur. The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri’s obsession with ‘finality’ over truth, justice, and humanity, at any cost,” Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Williams’s attorney, said in a statement just before the execution. “Tonight, we all bear witness to Missouri’s grotesque exercise of state power. Let it not be in vain. This should never happen, and we must not let it continue.”

Shahab Nadali, a prisoner accused of "treason" was sentenced to death in Iran today.

Shahab Nadali, a political prisoner imprisoned in Tehran's Evin Prison, has been sentenced to death.

Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, headed by Judge Iman Afshari, sentenced this 41-year-old prisoner to death on January 18 of this year (1402) on the charge of "treason" through what was called "membership in the opposition groups of the country".

Shahab Nadali from Hamadan was arrested earlier in June of this year by the intelligence department of this city and after some time was transferred to Evin prison in Tehran.

According to the indictment issued by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, Shahab Nadali has been accused of being associated with one of the opposition groups of the Islamic Republic of Iran and armed cooperation with them. This accusation is made while according to the evidence and documents of the case, his activities were completely individual and due to the lack of use of any weapon or activity, it did not lead to a destructive result like Baghi.

According to an informed source, "the decision issued by the lower court was contested by Shahab Nadali and his lawyer, and an appeal request has been submitted to the Supreme Court." The court has not yet responded to Shahab Nadali's appeal.

صدور حکم اعدام علیه شهاب نادعلی، زندانی متهم به «بغی»

شهاب نادعلی زندانی سیاسی محبوس در زندان اوین تهران به اعدام محکوم شده است.

شعبه ۲۶ دادگاه انقلاب تهران به ریاست قاضی ایمان افشاری، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ماه سال جاری (۱۴۰۲) این زندانی ۴۱ ساله را به اتهام «بغی» از طریق آنچه که «عضویت در جمعیت‌های معارض کشور» خوانده شده به اعدام محکوم کرده است.

شهاب نادعلی اهل همدان پیشتر در خرداد ماه سال جاری توسط اداره اطلاعات این شهر بازداشت و پس از مدتی به زندان اوین تهران منتقل شد.

بر اساس دادنامه صادره از سوی شعبه ۲۶ دادگاه انقلاب تهران، شهاب نادعلی به ارتباط با یکی از گروه‌های مخالف نظام جمهوری اسلامی و همکاری مسلحانه با آنها متهم شده است. این اتهام در حالی است که بنا بر شواهد و مستندات پرونده، فعالیت‌های او کاملا فردی بوده و به دلیل عدم استفاده از هرگونه سلاح یا فعالیت منجر به نتیجه تخریبی مصداق بغی نبوده است.

به گفته یک منبع مطلع «رای صادره از سوی دادگاه بدوی مورد اعتراض شهاب نادعلی و وکیل او قرار گرفته و درخواست فرجام‌خواهی نسبت به آن به دیوان عالی کشور ارائه شده است.» دیوان هنوز به فرجام‌خواهی شهاب نادعلی پاسخی نداده است.

“It Was the Most Violent Thing I’ve Ever Seen”

And then he was scheduled for execution by lethal injection in 2022, and the lethal injection failed. It adds these layers of complication to his story.

He compared that botched execution to being under a sewing machine.

Because they were looking for a vein with a needle

They were looking for a vein and just consistently being poked and cut. Kenny’s story represents all of the things that are wrong with not just the death penalty but the criminal justice system in Alabama. Everybody called this execution an experiment, but in a lot of ways, the criminal justice system down there itself is an experiment. And it’s no mistake that Kenny embarrassed the state by surviving, and he was the first person executed by nitrogen hypoxia. They were going to figure out a way to kill him no matter what.

[I]t looks like someone, like you said, has a bag over their head, and they’re suffocating to death. But an even better comparison is it looks like someone puts their hands around your neck and chokes you out with their bare hands, because that’s what the resistance looks like. I’ve said that it looked like a fish out of water, just on a dock, suffocating to death. But now I’m beginning to think it’s even more violent than that. It feels like it’s someone putting their hands around someone’s neck and choking them out. That’s how he moved, as if someone was physically killing him with their bare hands.

[Y]ou can’t be a part of that and walk out clean. The greatest evil of the death penalty is that it makes us all murderers.

“It Was the Most Violent Thing I’ve Ever Seen”: Inside the Chamber for Alabama’s Experimental New Execution Technique

Kenny Smith’s death was “22 minutes of hell.”

Reza Rasaei's death sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court

,
• Confirmation of this verdict is that the writ issued by the first court has many formal and substantive flaws.

• Among the objections of the petition:
• Relying on the forced confessions of the defendants in the case against each other
• Deliberately ignoring the testimony of a number of defendants in favor of Reza Rasaei
• Clarification of the indictment due to the existence of defects in the preliminary investigation
• Failure to pay attention to the opinion of the forensic expert
• The court refers to the "science of the judge" to prove guilt

• The retribution sentence was issued by the court due to the pressure from the head of the #judiciary to determine the assignment of this case as soon as possible, and the lack of evidence and legal documents in the case is much more than can be used for the #qisas-nafs verdict against Reza. issued a decree.

• تصریح دادنامه به وجود نقص در تحقیقات مقدماتی
• عدم توجه به نظر کارشناسی پزشکی قانونی
• استناد دادگاه به «علم قاضی» برای اثبات مجرمیت

Alabama condemned for nitrogen gas execution: ‘They intended to torture him’

State’s ‘slow and agonizing’ execution of Kenneth Smith using an untested method labeled as cruel by experts and advocates

Alabama faced widespread condemnation after the state executed Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday evening using nitrogen gas, the first time the practice has been used in the United States to kill someone.

Smith’s execution by “nitrogen hypoxia” took around 22 minutes, according to media witnesses, who were led into a viewing room at the William C Holman correctional facility in Atmore shortly before 8 pm local time.

Smith was fitted with a face mask. He used sign language to say “I love you” to witnesses in the viewing room, and in his final statement he said: “Tonight, Alabama caused humanity to take a step backward.”

After the nitrogen gas began flowing, Smith convulsed on the gurney for several minutes. The state had previously said the nitrogen gas would cause Smith to lose consciousness in seconds and die within minutes, according to the Associated Press.

“I’ve been to four previous executions and I’ve never seen a condemned inmate thrash in the way that Kenneth Smith reacted to the nitrogen gas,” Lee Hedgepeth, a journalist who witnessed the execution, told the BBC’s Newsday programme.

Jeff Hood, Smith’s spiritual adviser, was in the death chamber when Smith was killed. In a tearful television interview with CNN, he said Smith “popped up on the gurney over and over and over again. He shook the whole gurney”.

“I have never, ever seen anything like that,” he said. “That was torture.”

Iranian Writers' Association : Mohammad Qabadlo and Farhad Salimi were executed by IRI regime!

The death sentence of Mohammad Qabadlo, one of the protesters arrested in the freedom movement of summer of 2022 was executed in the early hours of Tuesday, the third of Bahman (December 23rd). The lawyer of this 23-year-old man had announced a day before that the execution of this sentence "has no legal authorization and is undoubtedly considered murder".
At the same time, the news of the execution of Farhad Salimi, a Kurdish prisoner of conscience, after serving 15 years of imprisonment, was also published in news agencies to show the government's determination to continue killing and terrorizing the population.

Earlier in a statement entitled "The death sentence must be abolished", the Iranian Writers' Association emphasized that: "There must be an end to the issuing of the death sentence and this will not happen unless the people protest and oppose the death penalty." And he also added: "In this land, every execution is political, even when they hang ordinary criminals... They want to silence the tongues and bind the hands and feet of slavery; Depriving people of their lives in this way is tied to depriving people of their right to protest and freedom of speech.

These executions have added to public anger and provoked the reaction of freedom seekers. But the ominous shadow of the rope continues to weigh on the heads of other prisoners, and as the center's statement also states: "People's help is very helpful" in the face of the flood of death sentences.

اعدام محمد قبادلو و فرهاد سلیمی
حکم اعدام محمد قبادلو، از معترضان بازداشت‌شده در جنبش آزادی‌خواهانه‌ی شهریور ۱۴۰۱ در نخستین ساعات سه‌شنبه سوم بهمن اجرا شد. وکیل این جوان ۲۳ ساله یک روز پیش از آن اعلام کرده بود که اجرای این حکم «هیچ مجوز قانونی ندارد و بی‌تردید قتل محسوب می‌شود».
همزمان خبر اعدام فرهاد سلیمی، زندانی عقیدتی کرد، پس از گذراندن ۱۵ سال حبس نیز در خبرگزاری‌ها منتشر شد تا عزم حاکمیت بر ادامه‌ی کشتار و رعب‌آفرینی را نمایان کند.
کانون نویسندگان ایران پیش‌تر در بیانیه‌ای با عنوان «حکم اعدام باید لغو شود» تاکید کرده بود که: «باید نقطه‌ی‌ پایانی بر صدور حکم اعدام گذاشت و این دست نخواهد داد مگر به کوشش مردم معترض و مخالف اعدام». و نیز افزود بود: «در این سرزمین هر اعدامی، سیاسی است، حتی هنگامی‌که مجرمان عادی را بر دار می‌کنند... می‌خواهند بر زبان‌ها قفل سکوت بزنند و بر دست‌وپاها بندِ بندگی ببندند؛ این‌گونه سلب حیات از افراد، به سلب حق اعتراض و حق آزادی بیان مردم گره می‌خورد».
این اعدام‌ها بر خشم عمومی افزوده و واکنش آزادی‌خواهان را برانگیخته است. اما سایه‌ی شوم طناب دار کماکان بر سر دیگر زندانیان سنگینی می‌کند و چنانکه در بیانیه‌ی کانون نیز آمده است: در برابر سیل هستی‌برانداز احکام اعدام، «یاری مردم بسیار راه‌گشاست».
