格鲁吉亚对Stacey Humphreys的处决在法律斗争中被推迟,
Georgia's execution of Stacey Humphreys is delayed amid legal battle over unmet pandemic-era inmate rights.
Stacey Humphreys的律师是佐治亚州定于12月17日执行处决的男子,他辩称,一项流行病时代的协议要求全面探访监狱,广泛接种疫苗应阻止处决,声称尽管2021年6月国家司法紧急状态结束,但这些条件仍未得到满足。
Lawyers for Stacey Humphreys, a Georgia man set for execution on December 17, argue a pandemic-era agreement requiring full prison visitation and widespread vaccine access should block the execution, claiming those conditions remain unmet despite the end of the state’s judicial emergency in June 2021.
他们说,该协议得到了格鲁吉亚最高法院的支持,保护了在紧急状态下上诉被驳回的囚犯,现在执行汉弗莱将违反正当程序和平等保护权利。
They say the agreement, upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court, protects inmates whose appeals were denied during the emergency, and executing Humphreys now would violate due process and equal protection rights.
国家律师对此提出异议,称Humphreys没有被涵盖,因为他的上诉在紧急情况结束后被驳回,而且他的法律团队没有遇到准备障碍。
State attorneys dispute this, saying Humphreys is not covered because his appeal was denied after the emergency ended and that his legal team has not faced preparation barriers.
联邦法官将听取各种论点,并事先作出裁定,认定疫苗状况未实现——目前正由格鲁吉亚最高法院审查。
A federal judge is set to hear arguments, with a prior ruling finding the vaccine condition unfulfilled—currently under review by the Georgia Supreme Court.
