Dans 30 États américains sur les 35 qui la permettent, la condamnation à mort ne peut être prononcée que sur verdict d’un jury de douze personnes. Dans la plupart de ces États la perpétuité réelle sera automatiquement prononcée si le jury ne parvient à l’unanimité (c’est le cas au Texas et en Californie), et la peine de mort sera donc définitivement exclue. 3, record 2, French, - condamnation%20%C3%A0%20mort

sentencia de muerte: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que el término "sentencia", que alude a la "decisión de cualquier controversia o disputa extrajudicial", introduce su complemento con la preposición "de" (sentencia de muerte) y desaconseja el uso de la preposición "a" (sentencia a muerte). 2, record 2, Spanish, - sentencia%20de%20muerte
