Indiana, United States
United States executed this Saturday at Dustin Higgs, the last federal death corridor presiding over the lethal injection under President Donald Trump’s mandate, four days before Joe Biden’s legacy, which promised to abolish this type of sentence.

Mutilation in Terre Haute (Indiana) by the sequel and three women assigned of 1996, Higgs see the third death of the federal death corridor that received the lethal injection in the year 2021.

A TEST FOR BODEN
Biden has promised to abolish the death penalty for federal level criminals and to provide incentives to those who seek capital sentences for those who are being prosecuted at the state level.
His first attempt at respect may be related to the case of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the authors of the Boston Marathon attack of 2013, since the Department of Justice Donald Trump has filed with the Supreme Court that restores the death sentence against her accused.
If the Justice Department bids Biden to change its posture in this case and allows it to end in Tsarnaev’s perpetual path, there will be a temporary signal of a plan to address the issue of the new President’s Government.
The decision of Trump’s ex-general prosecutor, William Barr, to resume federal-level executions over several decades of controversy in the United States, has a general tendency in recent years to recover from what we see in this sentence. and place the moment of execution on the issuer.
Twenty-five states have abolished the death penalty in their territory, while 12 others die more than six years ago after being ejected, according to DPIC.
It provoked that by 2020 there would be more federal-level executions than in all the other states, unparalleled in the history of the country.
THE CASE OF HIGGS
The Higgs’ attorneys, the last executive of the Trump presidency, intend to place the application of his sentencing motion that the presiding judge will co-opt 19, but the Supreme Court will finally allow him to pay.
Higgs defended his final verdict on the crimes committed by the accused, by the sequel and custody of three women, while his defenders quarreled over the man who dismissed the lethal thieves in this case, Willis Haynes, eluded the pen of death and fue condenado in cambio a cadena perpetua.
“I think I’m a ignorant man. I did not order the assessors,” Higgs said just before receiving the lethal injection, according to CNN.
His three-year sentence was handed down by Lisa Montgomery, the first woman to be executed at the federal level for more than six decades, while the European Union (EU) has stated that the death penalty is “incompatible with dignity”. humana y el derecho a la vida “. EFE
