aren't the charges Federal ones though and not state?I thought NY no longer had the death penalty.
Same. Just reading what the defense is offering shows me that they don't think he will get it either. I don't remember a case where so many family members offered their passport. Interesting.I will be shocked if he gets bail. jmo
I see. So, how would that work if he (or anyone) were sentenced to death in a state that does not have the death penalty?It’s a Federal case.
In the American criminal justice system, most prosecutions occur at the state level in municipal or county courts. Because the charges are federal ones, this case will be tried in the US District Court rather than a state, county, or municipal one. Any prison Combs were to be sentenced to would be a federal one and not a state correctional facility. A little more about the federal death penalty at the link below.I see. So, how would that work if he (or anyone) were sentenced to death in a state that does not have the death penalty?
I'm Canadian, so I'm not familiar with the whole state vs federal stuff.
In property value as collateral, not actual money, which is one of the reasons it was denied.SMH !

You cant sentence someone to death in the us unless their crime results in a death.I thought NY no longer had the death penalty.

However, the Court soon ruled that the death penalty would be unconstitutional for the rape of an adult where no death had occurred. That ban was later extended to any non-homicidal rape by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Kennedy v. Louisiana, and the Court commented that the death penalty could no longer be applied for any crime against an individual where no death occurred. The question of whether the death penalty might be used for crimes against the government, such as treason or espionage, remains unsettled.
I don't know why I am surprised and yet I am. He literally moved to NY because he knew the charges were coming and his attorney was already talking about it so that was simply idiotic of him to be holding. I guess he's lived above and outside the law so long he just never thought about it.He had drugs when he was arrested last night. This guy will be gone with the wind if he gets a chance!
Capital punishment is a legal punishment under the criminal justice system of the United States federal government. It is the most serious punishment that could be imposed under federal law. The serious crimes that warrant this punishment includeCrimes Punishable by Death
