Jersey is a state in which capital punishment has been abolished. ==History== Until the 19th century, hangings were carried out on Westmount ((フランス語:Mont-Patibulaire) (gallows hill); ''Jèrriais'': Mont ès Pendus (hill of the hanged men)) in Saint Helier. The last such execution was carried out on 3 October 1829, when Phillipe Jolin was hanged for murder. The following execution, that of François Bradley on 11 October 1866, was carried out in public outside the prison in Saint Helier. The law specified hanging in public until 1907. The next execution, therefore, that of Joseph Philip Le Brun on 12 October 1875, also took place under the same conditions. It was the last public hanging in the British Isles (the United Kingdom had abolished public hangings in 1868). The death sentence passed on Thomas Connan (executed 19 February 1907) necessitated a law change to permit the hanging to take place within the prison walls. During the German Occupation 1940-1945, the occupying forces carried out executions by firing squad. The last execution in Jersey was on 9 October 1959, when Francis Joseph Huchet was hanged for murder.〔()〕 In Jersey, the last death sentence was passed in 1984 (commuted to life imprisonment) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capital punishment in Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
