I was wondering if there is a list anywhere of living people who have had a death sentence commuted in the UK?  

 

I was reading about Liam Holden, still only 68, who was sentenced to death in 1973 (Northern Ireland abolished the death penalty shortly afterwards).

 

Jersey and the Isle of Man were still giving out death sentences  in the 1980s and there must be a few survivors of the 'pause' on executions in the 1960s from the UK mainland, but a definitive list isn't readily available so far as I can see, let alone who might still be alive.

Tony Teare was the last person on Isle of Man to be given the death sentence and that was in 1992. He would only be in his 50s now so possibly still alive.

Other people given death sentence on IOM since it was abolished in UK are

James Lunney in 1973 aged 21

Graham Frankland in 1980 aged 27/28

Michael Pate in 1981 aged 21

Stephen Moore in 1982 aged 18

 

I think that's it. All of them could potentially still be living.

The first openly transgender Death Row inmate in the USA is to be executed today.

 

The person in question is Amber McLoughlin of Missouri, perpetrator of the 2003 stabbing of her ex-girlfriend Beverly Guenther.

I don't respect the pronouns of murderers.

That "Amber" man doesn't deserve any respect. He is a murderer and today he will face the consequences


No he isn’t, but she might.

Ok I fixed the original comment. I don't respect the pronouns of murderers.

 

I'm sorry if the wording sounded hateful. Trans rights are human rights. However, McLaughlin is not a human.

Gerald Pizzuto was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 15, 2022. Now, his scheduled execution date is March 23, 2023.

The Idaho Department of Corrections has continued to delay Pizzuto's execution because they haven't been able to get the chemicals to carry it out.

The nation’s lowest threshold for issuing the death penalty is now law in Florida.

Thursday morning, Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered on his promise to sign a law no longer requiring unanimous jury consent to access the death penalty.

Now only eight of 12 jurors are needed to recommend capital punishment. Wiping out the previous unanimity requirement.

Judges could still override a jury’s decision but would have to give an explanation as to why in a written order.
