Xi'an executed for the first time by lethal injection, four death row prisoners went to the road on the morning of July 28, 205 Xi'an time, a historic day, Xi'an City executed lethal injection for the first time. Four death row prisoners went to the execution site one after another, and their fate will be completely changed at this moment. Interestingly, however, Xi'an was not the first place in Shaanxi Province to carry out lethal injection. As early as April 25, 2002, Weinan City conducted an experiment with lethal injection, and on that day four death row prisoners left their final images in front of the wall. The execution in Xi'an this time has aroused people's attention and thinking about the death penalty by lethal injection. Lethal injection is a relatively new form of execution, which is more rapid and "humane" than traditional executions or hangings. However, there have been many questions among the public about the process and effectiveness of lethal injection.
Therefore, this time Xi'an's lethal injection execution has also attracted much attention. How do these four death row inmates feel when they are about to hit the road? Will they be able to remain calm and calm in the face of impending death? First on the road was 68-year-old Wang Jianhua, an intentional murderer. Despite his age, Wang Jianhua is still physically strong. While living with his daughter, he got into an argument with Lao Zhang, a woman in her 40s. Lao Zhang wanted to complain to Wang Jianhua's daughter, but was ambushed by Wang Jianhua and eventually collapsed at the door of the apartment where his daughter lived. Why was a 68-year-old chosen as the first person to be executed by lethal injection? Perhaps considering the rich experience of the elderly, he can stabilize the scene at a critical moment.
Wang Jianhua did not disappoint, and he calmly went to the execution ground. Next up is the 30-year-old Wu Yongjun, who is also an intentional murderer. When Wu Yongjun drove a truck to deliver cement to the nursing home, he had a dispute with the stevedore over the loading and unloading fees. He conspired with the escort to "play tricks" while the vehicle was moving, deliberately lifting the hydraulic oil pump up the rear compartment, resulting in the death of a stevedore on the spot. Wu Yongjun later tried similar tactics several times, but failed. How will the young death row inmate face his fate? The last two to be executed by lethal injection were 20-year-old Hua Xu and Huang Jeting, a pair of robbers. They murdered the person in search of money by fraudulently riding a motorcycle. At around 9 a.m., the execution van drove into the execution site and four death row prisoners were brought to the scene.
After being identified, they waited for death to come. In order to ensure their right to information, staff explained to them the process of lethal injection and obtained their consent. During the actual execution, the expressions of the four death row prisoners were very calm. During the execution of lethal injection, medical professionals will quickly end the life of the offender by injecting drugs. The whole process takes only a few minutes, and lethal injection is faster and more "serene" than other forms of execution. In this lethal injection execution in Xi'an, only one person can be executed at a time, resulting in a situation where other criminals have to wait. This does need to be improved in order to improve the efficiency of enforcement and to guarantee the dignity of those sentenced to death. The moral and ethical aspects of lethal injection as a form of execution, have been controversial.
It has been argued that lethal injection is more humane and effective, reducing the suffering of offenders while reducing the psychological burden on executioners. However, there are also concerns about possible problems with lethal injection, such as inconsistent dosage and efficacy. We need to continue to conduct in-depth discussions and research on these issues to ensure the fairness and rationality of the execution of the death penalty. In short, the first execution of lethal injection in Xi'an City has aroused extensive discussion and reflection. As a new type of execution method, lethal injection has its advantages and some problems. We need to constantly explore and improve to ensure that executions are just, humane and efficient. At the same time, it is also necessary to deeply consider the meaning and value of the death penalty system itself in order to find a better alternative.
In the future, how should we balance the consideration of judicial fairness and humanitarian care? What is your opinion on lethal injection? Welcome to leave your valuable comments and suggestions.
