Foreword: Recently, the Internet has been swiped by various things, such as the murder of the female devil and the Yang Yongxin incident some time ago.
And in the past two days, someone has started to brush Lao Rongzhi again.
Previously, many people were discussing whether Lao Rongzhi really suffered from mental illness and whether he should be sentenced to death.
In the end, however, the court made a decision and approved the death sentence for Lo Rongzhi.
Moreover, an order was also issued for the immediate execution of the death penalty, that is, Lao Rongzhi had already been executed.
However, the execution of Lao Rongzhi has triggered another round of discussion, that is, everyone is speculating about how Lao Rongzhi was executed, whether it was shot or lethal injection.
I think there may be some people who don't know about this matter, so I'm going to give you a science popularization about how death row prisoners are executed.
1. Shooting and lethal injection, two ways of execution.
Some people may think that there seems to be no difference between shooting and lethal injection, aren't they both for execution, why do you still speculate about Lao Rongzhi's execution method.
In fact, although the final purpose of shooting and injection is the same, there are still some differences in the specific execution process.
First of all, it is that from a literal point of view, shooting is the execution of the death penalty with a gun, while lethal injection is the purpose of the death penalty by injecting a certain amount of medicine.
So, apart from this superficial difference, what are the differences between shooting and injection, in the specific execution process?
In fact, the biggest difference is in the process and cost of execution.
1. Process.
As far as the execution is concerned, as long as the higher court issues a death warrant, the local court can directly carry out the death sentence, without any preparation, and there is no need to wait for when, basically it can be executed on the spot.
In the case of lethal injection, it is not so simple, and the prisoner first needs to apply to the court before he can be executed.
Once the court approves the prisoner's death penalty application, the local court needs to apply to the relevant authorities in Beijing for the drugs necessary to carry out the death penalty, which means that the local court does not have the authority to keep the drugs.
In addition, due to the special nature of these drugs, they cannot be kept anywhere, so the local court needs to apply for them first and then collect them, which will increase the time for the execution of the death penalty.
2. Cost.
Let's talk about the cost of shooting and lethal injection.
In fact, from the perspective of cost, the cost of shooting is much lower than that of lethal injection.
Because of the execution, there is basically no cost, maybe only the salaries of some personnel and some simple equipment costs.
The lethal injection is different, first of all, the cost of the passage to get the medicine, then the cost of the medicine, as well as the venue and personnel of the execution, etc., all of which need to cost a certain amount.
However, although lethal injection does not seem to have any advantages from these two aspects, the mainland is still promoting lethal injection, and more and more death row prisoners are choosing lethal injection.
So, why is this happening?
In fact, it is mainly a kind of care and respect for people.
For those who are executed, lethal injection will provide them with psychological comfort, because they feel that lethal injection, as if receiving a medical treatment, will relatively reduce some psychological pressure and fear.
For those who are executed, lethal injection can also reduce some of their psychological burden, because they do not know whether they are promoting real death drugs, so that some psychological pressure can be reduced.
Second, Lao Rongzhi was executed, I guess it was shot, what about you?
So, with these prerequisites, let's talk about the execution of Lao Rongzhi.
According to the Nanchang Intermediate People's Court's report, Lao Rongzhi was executed today, but it did not say how it was carried out.
However, judging from the timing of the execution, it is unlikely that lethal injection is basically the case.
Because, generally speaking, after a person is approved for the death penalty, there is at least seven days in between, and Lao Rongzhi is basically executed on the same day.
Coupled with the whole process of time, it is unlikely that he will be executed by lethal injection, so, from my point of view, it is more likely that Lo Rongzhi will be shot.
Moreover, looking at the cost of the whole incident, it seems that there is no need to choose lethal injection, so I think that Lao Rongzhi should have been shot.
Of course, this is just a guess on my part, it is possible that I guessed wrong, or it is possible that the court deliberately did not disclose it clearly, trying to create some suspense and topics, so what do you think of this matter?
Conclusion: In fact, whether it is shot or lethal injection, the final result is the same, both for the justice of the law and the tranquility of society.
However, in this process, we can also see that our country is constantly making some improvements and adjustments for the sake of people's respect and care, which is a good direction, and we hope that our society can get better and better.
