On April 18, 2024, the Arkansas Supreme Court decided 4-3 to reverse a 2022 lower court decision and allow genetic testing of crime scene evidence from the 1993 killing of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis. The three men convicted in 1994 for the killings were released in 2011 after taking an Alford plea, in which they maintained their innocence but plead guilty to the crime, in exchange for 18 years’ time served and 10 years of a suspended sentence.

Récemment, le régime des mollahs, alors qu’il espérait une entente avec les Américains, avait demandé à ses médias de ne plus diffuser les nouvelles relatives aux pendaisons ou aux flagellations.
Depuis peu, il est revenu à ses habitudes, notamment pour intimider la population en annonçant les pendaisons et aussi les amputations. [iran-resist.org] avait ainsi évoqué le 11 novembre deux verdicts d’amputations pour des voleurs ; le régime annonce deux autres verdicts contre des voleurs récidivistes.
Le premier se nomme Mohammad-Reza. C'est un drogué. Il a été arrêté pour "attitude suspecte" par des miliciens en patrouille, qui ont découvert plusieurs paires de chaussures chez lui et quelques billets. L’enquête aurait permis de démontrer que les chaussures avaient été volées : il aura les quatre doigts de la main droite sectionnés par une petite guillotine fabriquée en Angleterre sur les indications des mollahs.
Le second cas est encore plus pénible. Un jeune soldat volait des sacs de riz dans les caves des immeubles des quartiers aisés. Il a été pris sur le fait, suite à plusieurs plaintes déposées contre un voleur habillé en soldat. Pour sa défense, il a déclaré qu’il ne prenait que du riz et aucun objet de valeur, du riz uniquement pour sa fiancée. Il est passible d’une amputation de la main à la hauteur du coude (sans anesthésie).
