I kinda doubt that is the case.

Would the phrase "dead to rights" be the same as this? 205.174.22.28 06:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interdiction or a legal determination of incompetence is also recognized as a "civil death".

"Because its remedy is so harsh, interdiction has been aptly described as “a pronouncement of civil death.” Interdiction of F.T.E., 594 So.2d 480 (La. App. 2d Cir. 1992). In many respects the interdict ceases to exist independently from his curator. He lacks the capacity to contract, LSA-C.C. arts. 395 and 1918; to sue, LSA-C.C.P. art. 684; and he is not allowed to vote, Louisiana Constitution, Article I, § 10."

IANAL, but should we merge these two articles?

Used for a time after abolishing the death penalty for lesser crimes than murder or treason. Some account of this would be useful, and a summary of the history of the doctrine in all common-law jurisdictions. The section on the PRC seems to belong elsewhere. 2A00:23C7:E287:1900:44B4:9FB0:E2EB:61A5 (talk) 17:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
