| 释义 |
Capital punishment was abolished in the state of Vermont in 1972.[1][2] The state last executed a prisoner in 1954, when Donald DeMag was put to death for a double robbery-murder he had committed after escaping while serving a life sentence for an earlier murder. Vermont still has a pre-Furman statute providing death by electrocution for treason.[3]In 2005, Donald Fell was sentenced to death after being convicted of carjacking with death resulting and kidnapping with death resulting by a federal jury in Vermont.[4] Fell's conviction was overturned in July 2014, owing to "egregious juror misconduct".[5] Fell later pleaded guilty to avoid another sentencing hearing and was sentenced to life in prison without parole in September, 2018.[6] Summary

Once pre-sentencing issues were resolved, Fell’s actions were found to meet the threshold as a capital eligible crime because the following aggravating factors applied: 1. Fell caused the death of King during the commission of the crime of kidnapping, §3592(c)(1); 2. Fell’s behavior was especially heinous, cruel or depraved in that it involved serious physical abuse to King, § 3592(c)(6); and 3. Fell intentionally killed or attempted to kill more than one person in a single criminal episode, § 3592(c)(16). 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/vermont/2014/07/24/judge-orders-new-trial-fell-case/13123751/|title=Judge orders new trial in Fell case|last=|first=|date=2014-07-24|work=Burlington Free Press|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|language=en}} 6. ^https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/vermont/2018/09/20/death-row-inmate-donald-fell-plead-guilty-avoid-death-penalty/1367010002/ References
