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.
California voters reinstated the death penalty a few months later, with Proposition 17 legalizing the death penalty in the state constitution and superseding the Anderson ruling. Since then, hundreds of death sentences have been handed down, but only 13 executions have been carried out, the last one in 2006. As of 2015, there were 746 offenders on California's death row. Of those, 126 involved torture before murder, 173 killed children, and 44 murdered police officers.
