"Capital punishment" nghĩa là gì?
03 Jun, 2021
"Capital punishment" có capital là quan hệ đến sinh mạng, punishment là hình phạt -> cụm từ này nghĩa là án tử hình.
Ví dụ
The use of capital punishment has fallen to historically low levels in recent years. This year, Virginia became the first Southern state to outlaw (cấm) the practice.
Arguments against using lethal (chết nguời) injection (liều tiêm) to execute (hành quyết) prisoners on death row, and the refusal of many pharmaceutical companies to provide the chemical used in the process, are forcing states to revert to older forms of capital punishment.
The state’s highest court (tòa án) will consider whether to raise the bar for when a jury can sentence a defendant to capital punishment, a decision that could affect pending cases and potentially reverse death sentences for the 704 inmates already on California’s Death Row.
But as the state adds to its death row population, the lawyers, judges and prison officials who oversee Nebraska’s system of capital punishment largely ignore (lờ đi) the fact that the state has no lethal injection drugs and very likely won’t get any for years, if ever. Those sentenced to death have a better chance of dying of natural causes than being executed.
