The term hydrocephalus is a neurological condition, where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid fills the cavities (ventricles) of the brain and the spinal cord. Increase in the cerebrospinal fluid widens the ventricular spaces in the brain and exerts pressure on the brain tissues.
The application of the death penalty is one of the rights preserved to the states. There is no federal law that addresses, it or forbids iâ¦t. Currently 35 of the 50 states plus the US Government and US Military have a death penalty in effect, although several have not exercised it in some time.
In the first eight months of this year, 20 prisoners have been killed â 16 of them in Texas and Missouri. â¢ Seven states have repealed the death penalty since 2007. Among the 31 that retain it, governors have imposed a moratorium in four, and most others haven't executed anyone in years.Only seven states carried out executions in the past two years.mong signs the death penalty may be on life support: â¢ The number of death sentences dropped from a high of 315 in 1996 to 73 last year â half of them coming in just 2% of the nation's counties. â¢ The number of prisoners on death row peaked at 3,593 in 2000 but now hovers around 3,000, a 17% decline.
