Of those, 280 were commuted to life imprisonment, with many of the other cases likely to remain in limbo for decades. As for the death sentences that have already been carried out – two in that four-year period – it is impossible to ascertain the objective criteria that made the crimes in question more heinous or “rarer” than those that did not merit execution.
2010到2013年间地方法院共做出436起死刑判决。其中280起被改判无期，余下不少案件还要在狱中拖上几十年。至于已经实际执行的死刑——四年中总共执行了两起——按照客观标准确定相关犯罪比那些没有执行死刑的犯罪更加“罕见”或令人发指几乎没有可能。
