Nebraska lawmakers keep death penalty

The Nebraska Legislature has refused to repeal the death penalty - but the state does not currently possess a method of execution.

As Omaha World-Herald reported the vote in the Senate, 28-20 (Nebraska, the nation is the only unicameral legislature) was killed, a plan of life in prison without probation. Nebraska is one of 37 Member States, which allows the death penalty.

In February, however, Nebraska, the Supreme Court ruled that the State of the method of execution - the electric chair - was unconstitutional, because they amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. The Federal State attorney general has asked the court to reconsider its decision.

What kind of the death penalty could have Nebraska is still in the air, after the Supreme Court abolished the state electric chair, the state, without the possibility of execution. Attorney General Jon Bruning said that putting legislation to be implemented jointly a new means of enforcement is a major priority of his mandate.

McGrain, Berryman & Mines, Nebraska-based political and public affairs, the company survey in the last month. There were 3232 responses to the survey, which showed that 78 percent of Nebraskans want the death penalty. This is a sharp contrast opponents of the death penalty, polls show that the state is at the heart of the divisions.

“All you have to do is in this investigation,” said Bruning. “It total demand, ‘Do you want the death penalty?” There are no towers in the investigation. ”

Some surveys using less specific issues and have often been on the electric chair itself, with some of these figures are regarded as persons from the death penalty. Bruning said that without the death penalty in place, judges would lose a valuable tool judicial authorities.

“The death penalty gives us some opportunities for the lives of prisoners of behaviour,” he said. “Nobody wants to die, not even those boys. In the absence of the death penalty in the situation, they have nothing to lose if they serve life. I know of one man was killed, two of his cellmates. He did not order the death penalty, but it now works.

Bruning also said there is not something like a life without reprieve.

“It is simply not exist,” he said. “The grace captain, in the framework of our Constitution, has full authority. You can at any time with or without cause, someone Release. I do not think that people understand, dass In fact, it is perhaps a little frightening. ”

The grace of Directors is composed of the Attorney General, Secretary of State and Governor. Bruning said, there was no possibility that three of them are already, but you can never know who you are in the future, “he said.

Although the death penalty some polls show opposition to the splitting up the issue of the most recent survey shows that 60 percent of Nebraskans do not have a problem with the electric chair as the state the sole means of execution and coincided with the Supreme Court decision.

Indeed, the electric chair has been a lot of support so that only 57 percent of respondents said they were going to lethal injection, which the state is the only option, execution and 76 percent of the Nebraskans reported that they guard against the current efforts aimed at the abolition of the death penalty.

“Whether through electric shock or lethal injection, it seems to be widespread support for the continued application of the death penalty in Nebraska,” said Mick Mines, a member of the Corporation in the setting out of the investigation.
