BJS 2013 Stats, at 19 (Table 16). Many States having revised their loss of life penalty laws to fulfill Furman’s requirements, the variety of loss of life sen tences then elevated. BJS 2013 Stats, at 14, 19 (Tables eleven and 16). But, approxi mately 15 years ago, the numbers started to decline, and they've declined rapidly ever since. E. Mandery, A Wild Justice: The Death and Resurrection of Capital Punishment in America 145 (2013). As of right now, 19 States have abolished the loss of life penalty (together with the District of Columbia), though some did so prospectively only. See Appendix D, infra (such counties coloured in purple) (citing Ford, The Death Penalty’s Last Stand, The Atlantic, Apr. 21, 2015). And newer knowledge present that the practice has diminished but further: between 2010 and 2015 (as of June 22), solely 15 counties imposed five or extra dying sentences. If we look to inhabitants, about 66% of the Nation lives in a State that has not carried out an execution in the final three years. Seven States have abolished the dying penalty in the last decade, together with (quite recently) Nebraska. See Atkins, supra, at 315-316; DPIC, States With and Without the Death Penalty, supra. |
