was sentenced to death on February 11, 1983 and was executed in November 2022. This death penalty process spanning 39 years and two centuries has recently been circulated on the Internet. The suspect who was executed was an American, with a black race. His name was Murray Hooper (English name: Murray HOOPER). Hooper was already 76 years old when he was executed. At this time, he was covered in white hair, but when he was arrested, he had black hair. Some netizens said: If he didn't execute, he would die of old age.
Hopper was born on November 22, 1945 and was sentenced to death for committing intentional homicide (called murder in the United States). The case occurred in , Arizona, in December 1980, when Hooper was 35 years old. It was New Year's Eve that night. Many families in the United States gathered at home with their relatives to have New Year's Eve party. The same is true for the family of Redmond in the state, he and his wife and mother-in-law Helen were having supper at their family.
No one expected that at this moment, three strangers broke into Redmond's home. He held a weapon and forced Redmond's family to enter the room. Under the deterrence of the weapons, Redmond could only obey orders. Among these intruders was Hooper, and they were planning to go into the house and robbed that night, and this family was also specially selected by them. After that, they tied up Redmond's family. In order to prevent the family from making a cry for help, they used things to plug the victims' mouths.
After sweeping all the cash and jewelry of the Redmond family, Hooper and the other three brutally shot the people present. In addition, they cut Redmond's throat with a knife and fled the scene after doing all this. Fortunately, someone called the police soon after, and eventually Redmond and his mother-in-law died due to serious injuries. Redmond's wife miraculously survived.
It is worth mentioning that this is a murder case, and the cause of the case was commercial competition. It turned out that Redmond and Ron were in a commercial partnership. The two run a printing factory locally. Under the joint operation of the two, the printing factory has good performance. Since then, Ron wanted to own the printing factory alone. In order to achieve this goal, he planned to hire murder and seize control of the printing factory. The black Hooper is one of the killers hired by Ron.
After that, local police began to investigate the case. Soon after, the identities of the three people involved were verified. After trial, Hooper was sentenced to death on February 11, 1983. In our country, if the suspect is sentenced to death and is executed immediately, it is not immediately necessary to ", the Meridian Gate, beheading ", but it needs to be submitted to the Supreme People's Court for approval. Generally, it can be decided at least two or three years. But judging from the Hooper case, the execution time of the death penalty in the United States can be long enough to make the suspect wait from his prime to his old age.
Before, some people have always said that the United States does not have a death penalty, but this is not the case. The United States does not stipulate a unified death penalty system, and at the same time, it does not uniformly abolish the death penalty system. The Arizona involved in the case is a state with a death penalty system. In the early stages of the trial of this case, local residents said:
Those who commit heinous crimes in our state will be held accountable... We must never forget the victims or stop pursuing justice.
In fact, in terms of opposing extreme violence and pursuing fairness and justice, the people all over the world are the same. "The murderer will always kill him", which is also the most fair way for the people all over the world to think. Judging from the murder methods of the suspect Hooper and others, they shot the victim in the head and cut the throat with a knife. This was completely intended to kill someone, and their behavior was extremely cruel.
Some friends may ask why the execution time of the criminal suspect Hooper's death penalty lasts for 39 years. This is actually related to the appeal system in the US judicial system. During this period, the criminal suspect Hooper made full use of all the appeal time, which is equivalent to the time when he uses up all this time, which is his death period. If Hooper dies due to illness or naturally during this period, will not need to be executed. For example, the other two murderers in the case (Brasey and McCall) died in prison in old age.
Such a long wait may be a respect for the judicial system, because there is a law that must be followed, which is something that every country abides by; but from another perspective, this is somewhat unfair for the victim's family, especially Redmond's wife who survived this murder. She may not have waited for the moment when the murderer was rectified. Therefore, we cannot blindly praise others' system, and its disadvantages are also obvious.
Although local people like to execute the death penalty of these murderers as soon as possible, some people think that Hooper was wronged. This person is his lawyer. He declared to the public:
An innocent man was executed in Arizona. Hooper has a beautiful soul and he will live in the hearts of all those who know him!
is extremely ridiculous. Although you need to have the professional quality of a lawyer, it does not mean you have to talk lies with your eyes open. At 10 a.m. on November 16, 2022, the murderer executed injection in a prison in Arizona.
