Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te ope pirihimana e tiaki ana i te whenua koraha o Utaha, ka tono wawe i nga kaimahi o roto i ona mema mo tetahi mahi tino whakamataku. E rima ngā kapa patu tangata ka whakatūria, ka whakaakona hei whakarite i tētahi nekehanga e kī ana ngā kaiwhakawā, he mōrearea ki te whakahokia mai o Amerika ki tētahi 'hītori tino pōhēhē.' I te aroaro o te raru o te pūnaha werohanga whakamate e whakamahia nuitia ana e te nuinga o ngā herehere Death Row, kua whakaaetia e ngā kaiārahi o Utaha he otinga e whakahokia mai ana ki te wairua nanakia o tōna wā o te Hauāuru. Ko te whakaahua ko te ruuma o te ruuma o Utah, kei reira nga herehere mate e herea ana ki te nohoanga i mua o te papa rakau hei aukati i nga pu, me te taha o nga peeke onepu e ngongo ana i nga toto toto. Ko te kāwanatanga te tuatahi ki te whakahoki mai i te tira whakamate. I whakaae a Gary Herbert, te kawana Reipa o Utaha, i kitea e ia te ariā 'he mea whakamataku', engari i whakapāhohia ka whakamahia noa iho mena kaore he rongoa werohanga e waatea ana 30 ra i mua o te whakaekenga kua whakaritea. Heoi anō, ka nui haere te tūponotanga o taua āhuatanga. E toru tekau ma rua tonu nga kawanatanga kei reira tonu te whiu mate, a, ko nga Raina Mate o Amerika e nui ake ana i te 3,000 nga herehere i whakawakia na te maha o nga werohanga whakamate. Kua whakaaetia ēnei e ngā roia ki te whakamutu i te whakamahere o ngā whakamomori e kiia ana he kore mamae i runga i te take e takahi ana rātau i te rerenga ture mo te whiu 'tino me te kore noa iho'. Ko te mea kino rawa, kei te pau haere ngā rongoā whakahinuhinu e whakamahia ana. He maha nga rongoā tino whai hua ka hangaia i Uropi anake, engari kua ki atu te EU ki nga kaihanga e kore e taea e ratou te hoko atu ki te mea ka whakamahia mo nga werohanga whakamate. Kua mutu kē ngā kaiwhakanao rongoā o U.S. ki te hanga i a rātau, e manukanuka ana ki te pāhono ki ngā whakamomori i te mea he nui haere te ōwehenga o ngā Amerikana e whakakāhore ana ki te whiu mate. He aha te hua? I te tau 2014, e 35 ngā tāngata i whakamatea i te U.S. <unk> te iti rawa mai i te tau 1994. I te Hōngongoi o te tau kua hipa, i whakaahuatia e ngā kaiwhakaatu i pehea i whiua ai te kaipatu o Arizona, a Joseph Wood, e takoto ana, e hīhīhī ana, e hīhīhī ana, ano he ika i utaina ki uta, mō ngā haora e rua, i te mea kāore i taea e tētahi huarere tarukino...
Kei te raru te U.S. ki te kimi rongoā e hiahiatia ana mō ngā werohanga whakamate. Kei te hanga a Utah i ngā kapa patu tokorima mō te hokinga mai ki te whakamate mā te pupuhi. Kua whakaaetia e ngā kaiārahi kāwanatanga he otinga e whakahokia ana ki tōna wā o mua o te Wild West. Koia te āhua tuatahi ki te whakamana anō i ngā rōpū patu mēnā kāore he rongoā e wātea ana. Ka herea ngā mauhere ki tētahi tūru, me te tohu i te wāhi e takoto ai ō rātau ngākau. Ka whakamahia ngā peke onepu hei ngongo i te toto, ā, ka aukati te papa rākau i ngā pōro.
