New Database Shows US Death Penalty Remains as Biased as High Court Ruled in 1972 - DPIC_我的网站

一 |     "Marking tomorrow’s 50th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Furman v. Georgia, which struck down all of the nation’s death penalty statutes as arbitrary and capricious, the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) unveiled a first-of-its-kind database documenting more than 9,700 death sentences handed down across the country between the Court’s ruling in Furman and January 1, 2021," DPIC said in a press release.,"The data provide powerful evidence that the nation’s use of capital punishment continues to be arbitrary, unreliable, and infected with bias.",DPIC Executive Director Robert Dunham in the same release said the data shows "a wasteful punishment, incompetently applied and beset by arbitrary factors such as race, place, and time.","The Court said America wasn’t able to administer the death penalty fairly or reliably a half century ago. The data show we still can’t do it today," he said.,Human Dignity, Death Penalty Incompatible, Biden Must Act to End Practice, Rights Activist Says28 January, 18:55 GMT,Dunham said when a death sentence is imposed, it is most likely to be overturned. Meanwhile, fewer than 1.1 percent of all US counties account for half of the incarcerated individuals on death row, he added. Moreover, people sentenced to die 30 years ago are in danger of being executed for crimes where the death penalty would not even be imposed today, he added.,He said DPIC’s census database also verifies that "when it comes to executions, white lives matter more than Black lives. Executions carried out over the past 50 years were six times more likely to involve a white victim than only victims who were Black," he said.,Defendants of color were disproportionately likely to be wrongfully convicted of capital offenses, he added, took longer to be exonerated, and comprised an overwhelming majority of the likely intellectually disabled people who continue to be executed in the US despite the constitutional prohibition against that practice.,Dunham also said America’s death penalty is disproportionate in the way it is carried out in a small number of states and counties which engage in "outlier practices" and have an absence of meaningful judicial process.,The DPIC said death sentences declined in the US by approximately 90% after peaking at more than 300 per year for 3 straight years in the mid-1990s.。    

          　　近日，著名财经媒体《福布斯》记者Mark Medina撰文报道了詹姆斯加盟费城76人后对球队球票销售的显著刺激效应。节选如下：
    
    　　自詹姆斯加盟费城76人队以来，他依然是NBA收视与票房的双重保障。
    
    　　76人队与卫冕冠军纽约尼克斯队、总决赛球队圣安东尼奥马刺队以及詹姆斯的前东家洛杉矶湖人队并列，成为拥有联盟最多全美直播场次（34场）的四支球队之一。此外，76人队的主客场比赛在二级球市上也引发了最火爆的购票需求。
    
    　　“勒布朗是NBA中极少数能够在一夜之间彻底改变球队常规赛门票需求的球员，”SeatGeek（球票交易平台）高级内容分析师马克斯·迈耶在书面声明中表示，“2018年他加盟湖人时就做到了这一点，赛程一经公布，湖人立刻成为NBA转售市场的头号热门，并在SeatGeek平台上占据了全联盟近三分之一的转售份额。如今的费城正在重演同样的剧本。赛程发布后，76人的门票销量领跑全联盟，其中在麦迪逊广场花园对阵卫冕冠军尼克斯的揭幕战，无疑是本赛季最抢手的球票。”
    
    　　这场在麦迪逊广场花园上演的76人对阵尼克斯的揭幕战究竟有多火爆？在SeatGeek平台上，转售门票价格从1903美元（212区）到48469美元（场边座）不等；而在StubHub平台上，转售价格最高达25923美元（10D区），最低为1958美元（208区）。与此同时，76人主场迎战尼克斯的比赛门票同样备受追捧。SeatGeek的转售价格在304美元（219A区）至3112美元（101区）之间，StubHub的转售价格则在346美元（206区）至2024美元（114区）之间。
    
    　　不出所料，由于这场比赛恰逢尼克斯在NBA最大球市的狂热球迷面前举办“戒指之夜”，麦迪逊广场花园的76人客战尼克斯的比赛需求更为旺盛。不过，在Xfinity移动中心举行的76人主场迎战尼克斯的比赛同样引发了强烈关注，球迷们对这支NBA新晋“超级球队”能否向卫冕冠军发起冲击充满期待。
