A new study finds the number of executions in the US remains about the same this year as it has been recently. 25 people have been put to death in 2024.
一项新研究发现，今年美国的死刑数量与最近几年大致相同。2024年将有25人被处死。
NPR's Martin Kaste reports. Robin Maher is the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, which just published its annual report.
NPR新闻记者Martin Kaste报道。Robin Maher是死刑信息中心的执行主任，该中心刚刚发布了年度报告。
She says the death penalty was not a major political issue this year and not much has changed.
她说，死刑今年并不是一个重大的政治问题，而且没有太大变化。
Public support for the death penalty remains at a bare majority which is 53%. That's a five decade low. But active use of the death penalty remains limited to just a minority of states.
公众对死刑的支持率仍处于53%的微弱多数。这是五十年来的最低点。但积极使用死刑的州仍然仅限于少数几个州。
Just four states accounted for three quarters of all executions this year and Maher says that has contributed to making the death penalty a quote "local issue", which escapes the notice of most Americans.
今年，只有四个州占所有死刑的四分之三，Maher说，这导致死刑成为一个“地方问题”，大多数美国人都没有注意到。
27 states have the death penalty on the books, though five of those have paused executions by order of their governors. Martin Kaste, NPR news.

The judge said Ethan Crumbley's guilty plea was knowingly, voluntarily and accurately given.
法官表示，伊森·克伦布利的认罪是明知故犯、自愿且准确地做出的。
He also rejected Crumbley's request to be resentenced, the school shooters serving life without the possibility of parole.
他还拒绝了克伦布利重新判刑的请求，该校园枪击犯被判终身监禁，不得保释。
But Crumbley's new defense team argued the now 18-year-old was only 16 and living with mental illness and cognitive impairment when he pleaded guilty, waiving his right to a trial.
但克伦布利的新辩护团队辩称，这位现年18岁的少年在认罪时只有16岁，患有精神疾病和认知障碍，不必接受审判。
