Execution (legal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (296 words) |
 | Execution is the killing of a convicted criminal as a deliberate legalact. |
 | Execution can be legal, if preceded by a judicial process or in accordance with appropriate law (see capital punishment), or illegal, such as killing of hostages. |
 | Formal military executions are typically by firing squad (for violations of orders in wartime or the laws of war) or by hanging (typically for cowardice, or commission of atrocities or other crimes). |
