This emerges from the amendment to a provision for the execution of the death penalty for offenders convicted at the federal level, which was published on Friday (local time) in the official gazette of the federal government.
From Christmas of all times, i.e. from December 24th, executions should be carried out using all execution methods that are legal in the state in which the sentence was passed.
Most executions were carried out by lethal injection, but laws in some states provide alternatives. In Mississippi and Oklahoma, for example, the use of gas, the electric chair and firing squads are generally permitted. In Tennessee, for example, a prisoner was executed on the electric chair in December.
The department is planning several more federal executions of convicted criminals until President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. The Democrat Biden rejects the death penalty. Republican Trump had enforced the reintroduction of executions at the federal level.
According to the Death Penalty Information Center, 15 people have been executed in the USA so far in 2020, eight of them at the federal level.
