Execution Of Frederick Lashley
The execution of Frederick Lashley (March 10, 1964 – July 28, 1993) was carried out on July 28, 1993, at the Potosi Correctional Center in Missouri. Twelve years prior to his execution, on April 9, 1981, Lashley, who was then 17 years and one month old, murdered his 55-year-old ailing foster mother Janie Tracy (who was also his cousin) by battering her head with a cast iron skillet and lethally stabbing her in the head, and even stole $15 from her apartment. Lashley was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to death on April 26, 1982, thus becoming the youngest person in Missouri to be sentenced to death. The conviction and death sentence of Lashley garnered significant attention, mainly due to the fact that he was 17 at the time of the murder. His lawyers argued that he should not be executed for killing his foster mother, mainly due to his young age and that he committed the crime while allegedly under the influence of drugs. Additionally, the arising concerns about the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

During the years following the conviction, the surviving victim, the co-defendant, the district attorney, and the jury forewoman made public statements that cast doubt on Cantu's guilty verdict. Background Ruben Cantu grew up with his mother and father until the age of 14, when the couple split up, with Ruben's mother moving 20 miles (32 km) away and Ruben and his father continuing to live in a trailer in a crime-ridden south San Antonio barrio. The neighborhood was home to a loose band of tough kids called the ''Grey Eagles,'' of which Cantu became a leader despite being rather small and in special-ed classes at school. By age 15, he was stealing cars for an organized auto theft ring, often spending days at a time driving stolen cars to Mexico for cash. When the San Antonio Police Department was embroiled in scandal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Capital Punishment In The United States
In the United States, capital punishment (also known as the death penalty) is a legal penalty in 27 states (of which two, Oregon and Wyoming, do not currently have any inmates sentenced to death), throughout the country at the federal level, and in American Samoa. It is also a legal penalty for some military offenses. Capital punishment has been abolished in the other 23 states and in the federal capital, Washington, D.C. It is usually applied for only the most serious crimes, such as aggravated murder. Although it is a legal penalty in 27 states, 21 of them have authority to execute death sentences, with the other 6, subject to moratoriums. As of 2025, of the 38 OECD member countries, three (the United States, Japan and South Korea) retain the death penalty. South Korea has observed an unofficial moratorium on executions since 1997. Thus, Japan and Taiwan are the only other advanced democracies with capital punishment. In both countries, the death penalty remains qui ...
