Three people who have been arrested for the murder of Mahogany Jackson are now facing capital punishment charges in Alabama.   The prosecutors detailed the brutal murder in court this week and the charges that the state plans to bring against those who participated in the kidnapping and murder.   


In this episode, we take a look at what transpired in the courtroom and where things might go from here.    

Here's a look at the capital murder process in Alabama.




Alabama is one of the US states that retains capital punishment, and it's governed by its own set of laws and regulations. Here are some key points regarding capital punishment laws in Alabama:
  1. Authorized Methods: Alabama law allows for the use of lethal injection as the primary method of execution. However, the state also permits the use of the electric chair if lethal injection is unavailable or if the inmate requests it.
  2. Crimes Punishable by Death: Capital punishment in Alabama is typically reserved for the most serious crimes, such as murder, particularly in cases involving aggravating factors such as the murder of a law enforcement officer, multiple murders, or murder committed during the commission of another serious crime.
  3. Sentencing Process: In cases where the death penalty is sought, the jury decides whether to recommend a death sentence during the sentencing phase of the trial. The judge then has the discretion to accept or override the jury's recommendation.
  4. Appellate Process: Like in many other states, Alabama has an extensive appellate process for death penalty cases. This process allows for automatic appeals to the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals and the Alabama Supreme Court. Additionally, inmates can pursue federal appeals through the U.S. District Court and U.S. Court of Appeals.
  5. Recent Developments: Alabama has faced scrutiny over its execution methods and the constitutionality of its death penalty procedures. Challenges have been raised regarding the use of particular drugs in lethal injections and concerns about the fairness of the legal process, especially regarding the provision of effective legal representation for defendants facing capital charges.
