Id just like to know when someone is on deathrow, Why do they put a wet sponge on top of there head and cover there face, Also do they still use the Gas chamber

They used to cover the face because a man who is being electrocuted face's is not really a pretty sight for the witnesses. \n\nThe Gas Chamber was last used back in 1999 in Arizona on    Walter LaGrand. All the five states which might still use it offer lethal injection as an alternative so I doubt the gas chamber will ever be used again, although some inmate may pick it to gain publicity and draw attention to his or her case.

The problem is our judicial system is very flawed.  There are many innocent people in jail, and guilty ones in the street.  I agree some people are given lighter sentences than what they deserve and others harsher than they deserve.  But our system is what it is, if you don't plan on getting out there and trying to make a change then there is no point in complaining about it.  I am back and forth on the issue of the death penalty,  but to answer your question, yes there should be certain criteria for sending someone to deathrow.   There should be certain regulations.  But every crime is different, and until it happens to you or someone in your family it is hard to say.  and that goes for being the defendant or the victim.  it is hard on both families.

Might be helpful to include the country next time , this is all US information..... Here is some research with links " Get to work and stop reading questions" LOL\n\n\n1) Check out their "History of the Death Penalty "section\n2) United States Courts on the death penalty\n3)Victims and the death penalty\n4)Capital Punishment, legal infliction of death as a penalty for violating criminal law. Throughout history people have been put to death for various forms of wrongdoing. Methods of execution have included such practices as crucifixion, stoning, drowning, burning at the stake, impaling, and beheading. Today capital punishment is typically accomplished by lethal gas or injection, electrocution, hanging, or shooting.\n5)History of the death penalty ---Plus a chart chronicles the United State's use of the death penalty over the past four centuries.

Generally someone is under anesthesia.  The gas is under pressure before it goes to the patient.  Pneumatic pressure would be important in this.

Woo hoo what a nutter! \nFollowing ur logic(!)if someone who is subsequently found to be INNOCENT is tortured to death (oops), then the people responsible should also be tortured. I notice u didnt include murderers in ur little rant or did u just forget to include them? U really should be sectioned and placed in a secure unit for everybodys safety. If anyone could be called 'evil' heres its u!

I'm not sure if the first question was even written correctly.  In fact, if I remember right, Montressor echoes Fortunato's screams to mock him as he is being enclosed in the cellar.  \n\nSecond, again if I remember correctly, Montressor had probably hidden the materials he would need to entomb Forutnato.  \n\nTo have such friends. . .\n\nShould've clarified about the friends part.  Doesn't really apply to story at all, however, they did end up at Montressor's after a drunken afternoon of gentlemanly debauchery as they were quite into their intoxication when Fortunato is enticed with a rare and precious cask of Amontillado. . . or so the story went.

In a recent courtroom drama, accused murderer Jack Merridew was almost attacked by fellow defendant Ralph Grant following his statement in the investigation surrounding the deaths on the island. (Nether) boys are in custody.\n\n(the) courtroom environment that had begun in silence erupted into a flurry of activity when Mr. Merridew provided details into the deaths of some of the boys which provoked an outburst by Mr. Grant. He got up from his seating screaming, “You’re such a liar!” His lawyer, Will Hayden, tried to calm him down. Mr. Grant flew out of his chair in a rage and could hardly be stopped. Running to the stand, intending to attack Mr. Merridew but being restrained by the police in time. \n\nsounds great to me! A worthy =)

i was a juror many moons ago and let me tell you it was a farce!\ni was approached by a defence witness and to cut a long story short she ended up serving 6 months. the girl didn't tell me anything i already know and yes she shouldn't of approached me, but i think she was desperate. she also had a 6 week old baby who was put into care for the length of her sentence. The reason for the confidentiality is so that outside influences don't cloud your judgement. the decision should be entirelly upto you, on whether you convict or not. i know that after the case my husband would've voted differently to me so if i had of talked to other people then i may of been swayed

I'm only 12 and I'm surprised that no one has answered this yet. First, what hapened is that something happened inside the factory...that information has not been released to the public yet. This caused there to be something happening to the CO2 which made it bad, so it was not safe to work with. So now they have to ration it until they get it all worked out. Does this help you any?

This is a serious answer!!!!  Because anyone who is trained to give an IV and injections, even the ones who are indoctrinated to perform lethal injections, must adhere to a strict set of guidelines as the AMA and other medical organizations set forth.  Therefore, when and if they enter the world of helping people with IV's and injections, they would have developed a ROTE response to the way they do things. Lethal injections are not normally sterilized as well as plunger needles in either world, because they already come pre packaged and sterilized, only the site on the skin is sterilized.  If you have seen this happen in a lethal injection, it is more than likely also for show to make the officials and everyone else seem professional and correct in standards

Better to learn where on your own body you can push to pass out, so you dont have to experience the kinds of things you can look forward to when you get thrown in prison for child molesting.  Im not sure, but merely asking a question like that might get you put on an FBI watch list.

Does the question beg the answer how does a biological weapon work? In which case you could go into detail about whether it is inhaled and how it affects the respiratory system, whether it needs to be ingested or affects subjects through the skin.\n\nHow it is used could refer to how the agent is spread, air particles, water/liquid, ingestion or direct contact including injection.\n\nNot entirely sure what you need but I hope this helps.

MDI Microshields have a bite-block tube with a filter and one way valve.  This ensures the microshield does not fall out of the victim's mouth during the CPR process, as well as ensuring that airborne pathogens/viruses/diseases are filtered out and the person's last meal does not end up in your mouth. *** However, if the victim vomits, the filter may becomed blocked or clogged, which "disables" the microshield. ***\nMicroshields are directly on the face, allowing an actual "seal" to be formed around the victim's mouth by the rescuer, which ensures the air actually goes in.\nThe side that faces the rescuer is flush with the face of the victim.\n\n\nThe MDI Filtershield ensures that if the victim vomits, a grate that is situated on the inside of the bite tube just before the filter catches the larger pieces of vomit which would normally clog the filter. *** Therefore this particular "model" attempts to keep the filter from becoming clogged. ***\n\nHope that helps.

I too am in the hospital, and I agree with all of the above. These people often come into the hospital belligerent and difficult to manage. Other times they are to the point of unconsciousness in which case you can pass a tube to their stomach and pump it out.  Key here is hydration and observation, particularly for airway difficulties (if they are unconscious and unable to protect their airway due to lack of reflexes).  Sometimes they need intubation ( this is an endotrachial tube that is passed into their trachea to breath for the patient) and this is done for airway protection so that if they vomit their stomach contents, it won't go into their lungs....the endotracheal tube blocks this from happening.  Aspiration into the lungs is extremely serious because it damages lung tissue, and blocks the passage of oxygen from the lungs into the capillary circulation.\nAnother key factor is to get a blood alcohol level, blood glucose level, and check renal (kidney) function and liver function.  Alcoholics often have permanent liver damage.

I sure hope you read this and not just let it go by. Let me ask you this, lets say you are married and have a family you leave for a while, an leave them alone an someone kills them, so the laws ask you do you what to fry them or let them do a experiment that we are doing on cancer treatment that we think is the cure. After doing the experiment and it is over with, they have a cure and the person is released just how would you feel. Do you think justice was served. I don't so, because the person made headlines twice, once for killing your family and another for helping to find the cure for cancer.

it gives the answer at the end of the video!  it's all about muscle control (tightening the stomach muscles before impact) and breath control (breathing out to minimize the force of the impact).\n\nHoudini used to do it all the time.  that's how he died, in fact, when someone hit him in the stomach when he wasn't ready to take the blow.
