The chief constable for Cambridgeshire has sharply criticised extradition rules as the Home Office prepares to announce a review of existing arrangements, including those with the US and EU countries.
Julie Spence, whose force devoted more than a year to trying to bring German doctor Daniel Ubani back to the UK after he accidentally killed a patient on his first UK shift in February 2008, alleged the process “was in some way circumvented by the German authorities,” saying the episode had been “deeply distressing for myself and officers.”
On 23 September, 40-year-old Teresa Lewis will become the first woman to be executed in the state of Virginia for almost a century. She’ll also be the first woman put to death in the US since 2005.
Considering that, in the intervening five years, around 220 men will have been executed, it puts it into perspective: executing women is unusual. Of more than 1,200 executions carried out since the US supreme court reinstated capital punishment in 1976, only 11 were of women. And each time that happens, it’s stunningly bad PR for an increasingly unpopular facet of the American justice system.
The facts of the Lewis case are fairly gruesome. In 2002, she was convicted of persuading two men to kill her husband and stepson to collect a $250,000 life insurance policy. In return, she promised them a portion of the money, and sex with her and her 16-year-old daughter.
