Washington judge upholds hanging under state method rules
U S District Judge John Coughenour ruled that Washington state hanging guidelines mitigate decapitation and prolonged suffering and do not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The decision stems from Charles Campbell, 38, who was sentenced to death for the throat-slashing murders of Renae Wicklund and Barbara Hendrickson, along with the killing of Wicklund’s daughter. Campbell refused to choose between hanging and injection, arguing the method could make him part of his own death.
