London -
The execution of Beatrice Halloway, 26, is set to go forward, on the 21st of August, 2026. Ms. Halloway’s legal defense team heard both of the appeals brought forward to the High Crown Court today.
The first was a final appeal to reverse the sentence of death to life imprisonment, which was denied, in a decision that noted the cold and calculated planned murder of James Glover.
The second appeal was to change the method of execution from Hanging, to Beheading, citing Ms. Halloway’s thin frame and light weight.
“It is clear that the Official Table of Drops does not account for the size of Ms. Halloway when making the calculations to ensure a quick execution. Her thin frame, which is not a result of a supposed eating protest or a highly rumored eating condition, will not guarantee a quick execution as she is entitled too.”
But this appeal was shot down immediately, with the ruling Justice citing that ''there is an execution method that can be proscribed that does not result in immediate or near immediate death, and that citing it without knowing the prescribed execution method is little more than an attempt to manufacture a constitutional objection to a sentence whose lawful method has not yet even been prescribed. The Court will not entertain arguments founded upon hypothetical suffering. Furthermore, Ms. Halloway did not grant her victim the same, while also taking into a factor the nature of Ms. Halloway’s plan to murder James Glover. ''
“Ms. Halloway will be executed by the proscribed order of this court, in accordance with the Manual for Efficient and Judicious Application of Lethal Justice.”
