I didn’t know you could be put to death for non-violent crimes. Article says he was only charged with drug possession. This happened in Singapore, but according to Wikipedia “large-scale drug trafficking” is a capital crime in the US, too. Transporting 42g of heroin doesn’t sound even close to large-scale, but I can imagine getting swallowed up by a legal labyrinth anyhow, especially if you’re disadvantaged.
I don’t understand why more lawyers aren’t up in arms about the severe sentencing happening in the US. Guess it’s a similar situation to engineers being paid through the nose while pretending Big Tech is working for the greater good.
