Judicial murder
Intentional and premeditated killing of an innocent person by means of capital punishment / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judicial murder is the intentional and premeditated killing of an innocent person by means of capital punishment;[2] therefore, it is a subset of wrongful execution. The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as "death inflicted by process of law, capital punishment, esp. considered to be unjust or cruel".[3] Judicial murder is not to be confused with judicial homicide, which may include the carrying out of capital punishment.
