U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Plans to Resume Capital Punishment

U.S. Supreme Court has rejected plans to resume, at the federal level, executing criminals who commit complicated crimes such as murder.

Execution is expected to be carried out in a state days later.

U.S. media outlets said that the Supreme Court has abandoned an urgent request submitted by the federal government to resume executions after 16 years of abandoning that harsh punishment.

Four men were not executed within the few last weeks due to the legal controversy linked to the capital punishment.

U.S. General Attorney William P. Barr said that he plans to resume the executions next July.

He unveiled that the federal government seeks to execute five persons committing murder, among them a man who is faithful in the supremacy of the whites over the other races in the world.

US President Donald Trump has publically supported execution since he was one tycoon of real estate in the country.

Now he becomes a hardliner towards capital punishment.

Every state in the USA has the right to take an inpidual decision linked to applying execution in their criminal codes.

However, the federal legal system differs absolutely as it bases on another basis.

Twenty states ban execution along; another state did not carry that punishment in decades.

The federal government executed a criminal in 2003 since resuming that punishment in 1988.

Activists campaign against using the lethal injection to terminate the life of those who were sentenced to death.

Tennessee executed death row inmate Stephen Michael West on Thursday night, marking the third time the state has used the electric chair in less than a year.

He was pronounced dead at 7:27 p.m. CDT, according to the Tennessee Department of Correction. He was 56.

West was sentenced to death for the 1986 stabbing Wanda Romines, 51, and her 15-year-old daughter, Sheila Romines to death  in their East Tennessee home. He also was convicted of raping Sheila.

Experts said the women had been tortured in front of one another before they died.

Eddie Campbell, a relative of the victims, said their family's grief stretched across decades.

"Our family has suffered very deeply over the past 33 years through all the appeals that we think is very unfair for anyone to have to go through," Campbell said in a statement released after the execution.

"I hope that (West) has made peace with God and has truly asked God for forgiveness for such a heinous crime."
