BEIJING (AP) - China's top court will ensure the death penalty is applied uniformly across the nation by the end of the year, state media said Thursday.
The decision marks the latest step to reform capital punishment in the nation believed to carry out more court-ordered executions than the rest of the world combined.
At the start of 2007, the country's highest court started reviewing and ratifying all death penalty sentences meted out by provincial courts.
