Capital crimes are: premeditated murder, aggravated rape or rape of a minor, and three antistate offenses involving violence (as reduced by an amendment of 1994 to the Criminal code). Women aged 60 and males under 18 at the time of the offense do not receive the death penalty. In 1998, an American citizen George Risley, 56, was arrested on a murder charge and faced the death penalty.
