Most American Indian tribes opt out of federal death penalty By FELICIA FONSECA and RUSSELL CONTRERAS, Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — In a heinous case on the Navajo Nation, an 11-year-old girl was lured into a van, sexually assaulted and killed. The man who has admitted responsibility is not facing the death penalty — and the tribe isn’t seeking it.
American Indian tribes for decades have been able to tell federal prosecutors if they want a death sen- tence considered for certain crimes on their land. Nearly all have rejected that option.
