expertec Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 July 31st. 1998. High treason and piracy with violence ceased to be capital crimes.27th January 1999. The Home Secretary (Jack Straw) formally signed the 6th protocol of the European Convention of Human Rights in Strasbourg, on behalf of the British government formally abolishing the death penalty in the UK. It had been still theoretically available for treason and piracy up to then but it was extremely unlikely that even if anyone had been convicted of these crimes over the preceding 30 years that they would have actually been executed. Successive Home Secretaries had always reprieved persons sentenced to death in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man where the death sentence for murder could still be passed and the Royal Prerogative was observed.Timeline of capital punishment in Britain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Interesting post expertec1st May 1820. Last hanging drawing and quarteringI thought that this was a medieval form of execution . 10th July 1992. Anthony Teare became the last person to be sentenced to death in the British Isles for a contract killing in the Isle of Man. The sentence wasn't commuted: the Manx Appeal Court ordered a re-trial in 1994, by which time hanging had been removed from the Isle of Man Criminal Code. The new sentence was therefore life in prisonclose call , and so recent , I think we should bring back capital punishmentupdateThe Charity Commission has extended its investigation into an appeal set up by the former Labour MP George Galloway.BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
