LOL, This Convo was steered in the wrong direction by accident.
So in one state you retain the right to be hung for any crime that is punished by death.
But treason is and only can be punished by hanging.
Right? Understand?
where does it say that?......3rd article 3rd section(the one about treason) states-
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Federal law requires that the method of execution be that which is used by the state in which the crime was committed. The judge may select the method used by another state if the capital offense was committed in a state without the death penalty. All federal executions since 1976 have been by
lethal injection.
its the federal gov that executes for treason, in florence colorado at the florance supermax by lethal injection.
sorry original poster, i guess i'll go start my own thread instead of inadvertently hijacking yours(i get caught up in the conversations about the death penaly and cant really stop myself. lol, it was so sad when my aunt and uncle died
.)
