When giving the last word to the Execution Council to prepare for death by lethal injection, the death row inmate never declared himself a witness in another murder case. Will they escape death?
Vietnamnet newspaper on August 13, 2017 reported: Vi Be Ngot was the subject of brutal murder of two children, causing a stir in public opinion and was sentenced to death.
The Judgment Execution Council of Dak Lak province has just issued a decision to postpone the execution of the death sentence for death row inmate Vi Be Ngoat (SN 1975, living in Ea Hiao commune, Ea H’leo district, Dak Lak province), because when preparing for the exam. After being sentenced to death, Ngoat revealed that he was a witness in another murder case in Krong Pak district in 2009. Therefore, the execution of the sentence was postponed for the Dak Lak Provincial Police to continue investigating. , clarifying new details.
Ngot has temporarily escaped death by confessing another murder at the last minute, but will Ngoat be reduced to life in prison? Are you entitled to the leniency policy of the law?
The law has very strict regulations on the order and procedures for the execution of the death penalty. After the death sentence takes legal effect, the case file must be immediately sent to the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court and the judgment sent to the Procurator General of the Supreme People’s Procuracy for consideration of protest or non-protest according to supervisory procedures. review or retrial. If the above subjects do not decide to protest or protest but are not accepted by the cassation panel or the reopening panel, the Supreme People’s Court shall notify the convicted person so that they can apply for a death sentence. pictures sent to the President; If the President rejects the application, the death sentence will be executed.
If before the judgment execution, the sentenced person declares new details about the crime (the crime may be committed by the judgment debtor or another person but has not been detected), the judgment enforcement council shall postpone the execution. execute judgments and report to the Chief Justice of the Court that has issued the judgment execution decision to report to the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court. When the reason for postponement no longer exists, the Chief Justice of the Court shall issue a judgment enforcement decision to request the Judgment Execution Council to continue executing the judgment (the crime declared by the judgment debtor has been investigated and handled or through verification, it is determined that the judgment debtor’s declaration is groundless).
Currently, the trend of judicial reform and international integration, Vietnam’s criminal law has limited the scope of application of the death penalty in the direction of only being applied to a few types of particularly serious crimes. However, when an offender is sentenced to death, the sentence is legally valid and there are conditions for execution, the death penalty must be executed in a timely manner. The postponement of execution of the death penalty must ensure the basis and comply with the order and procedures prescribed by law. When the reason for the postponement no longer exists, the death penalty must be carried out immediately.
The fact that Ngoat had declared information about another murder case that occurred in Krong Pac district, Dak Lak province in 1999, the execution of the death penalty was postponed, but after the authorities conducted an investigation, the death penalty was suspended. If the reason for the postponement is no longer available (such as: The crime that Vi Boet declares has been investigated and completed, or through verification determines that Vi’s declaration has no basis), the Chief Justice will The People’s Court of Dak Lak province requested the Judgment Execution Council to continue executing the death sentence for Vi Be Ngot.
According to the current regulations, Vi Beo Ngo is not exempt from the leniency of converting the death penalty to a life sentence.
