rush to kill

The American Civil Liberties Union sought a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from moving the prisoners to the so-called “supermax” facility in Florence, Colorado. It is considered the highest-security facility in the United States.

Florida state attorney Tom Bakkedahl says he is opening an investigation and hopes to seek the death penalty against Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez, Jr., for the murders of four family members in 2006.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi will meet with relatives of victims of some of the 37 death row prisoners whose sentences former President Biden commuted to life without parole last year, according to a document sent to families.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the Trump administration will pursue death sentences against federal defendants “whenever possible.”

In his first address to Congress since returning to power, President Donald Trump is calling on lawmakers to expand the federal death penalty to include mandatory executions for murdering a police officer.

Lawrence Taylor, 44, admitted to stabbing Jan Stevens to death in January 2019 at the high-security USP Terre Haute facility, according to investigators. Taylor pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a life sentence Feb. 12.
