The 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) primarily focuses on streamlining the process for federal and state courts to handle cases involving terrorism and capital punishment. It enhances penalties for terrorist activities, imposes stricter regulations on the appeals process for death penalty cases, and limits the ability of death row inmates to file successive habeas corpus petitions. Additionally, the act aims to improve the efficiency of the judicial system in addressing terrorism-related offenses.
You may mean the AEDPA (The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996), which Congress signed into law on April 24, 1996.
The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) was enacted in 1996 in response to terrorism and violent crime, particularly after the Oklahoma City bombing. It aimed to streamline the death penalty process and enhance measures against terrorism, including stricter rules for habeas corpus petitions and the expedited execution of death penalty cases. The act also provided funding for state and local anti-terrorism efforts while establishing new crimes and penalties related to terrorism. Overall, AEDPA reflects a significant shift in U.S. legal and penal policy during the 1990s.
