Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I hainatia e te kāwana o Utaha tētahi pire i te Mane e whakahoki mai ana i ngā rōpū patu hei huarahi pea ki te whakamate i ētahi o ngā herehere mate. Ko te werohanga whakamate tonu te tikanga matua mo te whakatinana i nga mahi i roto i te kawanatanga, i kii te Kawana a Gary R. Herbert i roto i tetahi korero. Ka whakamahia anake te tira whakaoho mēnā kāore e taea te whiwhi i ngā rongoā e hiahiatia ana. "Ko te hunga i whakahē i tēnei pire, e tautohetohe ana ki te whiu mate i te nuinga o te wā, ā, kua oti kē te whakatau i roto i tō tātou kāwanatanga", te kī a Marty Carpenter, te kaikorero a Herbert. "Kei te pouri matou ki te tangata e mahi ana i te hara nui o te kohuru nui kia tika ai te whiu mate, a ka hiahia matou ki te whakamahi i ta maatau tikanga tuatahi o te werohanga whakamate ka tukuna ana taua whiu. Heoi anō, mēnā ka whakatauhia e tētahi rōia, ā, ka hainahia e tētahi kaiwhakawa tētahi whakataunga whakamate, ko te whakaū i taua whakataunga ture te kawenga o te manga whakahaere", i kī ia. I whakakahoretia e Utah te whakamate i runga i te whakaekenga i te tau 2004, ahakoa ko nga herehere i whiriwhiri i taua whiringa i mua i te huringa o te ture ka mutu tonu te patu ki te mate. Ko te whakawakanga whakamutunga na te roopu pupuhi i te tau 2010, a koinei ano hoki te whakawakanga hou i Utah. I whakaekehia ano hoki e te roopu patu patu a Utah a Gary Gilmore i te 1977, te mate tuatahi na te whiu mate i muri i te whakaoranga o te Kooti Nui o Amerika i te whiu mate i te tau o mua. I āwhina a Tony Marco o CNN ki tēnei pūrongo.
Ka whakaaetia ngā kapa patu ki Utah mēnā kāore e taea te whiwhi rongoā mō te werohanga whakamate. Ko te werohanga Lethan tonu te tikanga matua mō ngā whakawā i roto i te āhua.
