新闻快照:美国14年来首次执行枪决,加德纳命丧黄泉
编者按:据外电报道,美国犹他州州立监狱6月18日凌晨在该监狱的枪决行刑室处决了49岁的“xx恶魔”罗尼·李·加德纳。犹他州法律依旧保持了枪决处决方式,不过只适用颁布注射处死新法前被判决死刑的囚犯。也就是说这类待决犯可以在枪决和注射处死之间做出选择。据报道,加德纳自己选择了枪决,原因是他喜好采用这种处死的方式。这是美国14年来首次采用枪决处死的方式处决犯人。美国,根据各州法律的不同,目前依然保留三种执行方式,枪决、电椅以及注射致死。美国目前依然保留死刑的有37个州,其余13个州已废除死刑。以下就是此条新闻的有关照片。

东南快报:据外电,当地时间6月18日,美国犹他州臭名昭著的“xx魔”49岁的加德纳被执行枪决。他是14年来美国{dy}名被枪决的死刑犯。此时距离他被判处死刑已经过去25年。
加德纳{dy}次xx是在1984年。他在盐湖城一家酒吧枪杀了服务员奥托斯特罗姆,那年他只有23岁。1985年4月,在审理他谋杀奥托斯特罗姆一案的一次听证会中,加德纳又试图逃跑,并当场枪杀了律师,重伤了法警。
25年来,加德纳一直在不停地上诉,直到犹他州检察长谢尔特勒夫签署了死刑令,他才放弃免于死刑的{zh1}一线希望,并选择由枪决行刑队来执行。
犹他州是美国{wy}一个还在使用枪决执行死刑的州。
