Two More Go To Death Row In North Carolina
North Carolina faces a legislative deadlock over capital punishment as 23 inmates sit on death row at Central Prison. In the past week two convicts, ages 24 and 17, were condemned for rape, one of four capital crimes in the state. The General Assembly battles over whether rape should remain a capital crime after a Supreme Court ruling mandated uniform death penalty imposition. The House favors retaining only murder as capital, while the Senate keeps rape in the list. If unresolved, more inmates may join the row, reinforcing a grim NC distinction.
