阿肯色州66岁死囚达成协议 死刑改判终身监禁
阿肯色州死囚埃里克·里德（Eric Reid）已与检方达成协议，以终身监禁替代死刑。反死刑组织「处决干预项目」（Execution Intervention Project）10月26日发布消息称，现年66岁的里德当天在温泉城的加兰县巡回法院同意了这一安排。
里德于2018年被判处死刑：2015年，他在与女儿争吵后开枪打死妻子劳拉·里德（Laura Reid），并向女儿玛丽·安·里德（Mary Ann Reid）多次开枪。里德的律师李·肖特（Lee Short）表示，这项协议是在新证据提交给加兰县检察官办公室后达成的。里德的精神顾问杰夫·胡德牧师（Rev. Jeff Hood）说，该协议让州政府在惩罚一名凶手的同时，可以「不再以杀戮回应杀戮」。
据阿肯色州惩教厅数据，里德是该州23名死囚之一。阿肯色州自2017年4月以来没有执行过死刑，当时州长阿萨·哈钦森（Asa Hutchinson）曾下令在11天内执行八次处决。
Arkansas Death Row Inmate, 66, Reaches Deal to Trade Death Sentence for Life in Prison
Arkansas death row inmate Eric Reid has agreed to a deal that replaces his death sentence with life in prison. The anti-death penalty group Execution Intervention Project announced on October 26 that Reid, 66, agreed to the deal that day in Garland County Circuit Court in Hot Springs.
Reid was sentenced to death in 2018 for the 2015 shootings of his wife, Laura Reid, whom he shot and killed after an argument with his daughter, and his daughter Mary Ann Reid, at whom he fired several times. His attorney, Lee Short, said the deal came after new evidence was presented to the Garland County Prosecuting Attorney's office. Reid's spiritual advisor, the Rev. Jeff Hood, said the deal allows the state to punish a murderer while moving past the death penalty.
According to the Arkansas Department of Corrections, Reid was one of 23 men on the state's death row. Arkansas has not carried out an execution since April 2017, when then-Gov. Asa Hutchinson ordered eight executions over an 11-day period.
