The Supreme Court rejected Masumi Hayashi's appeal and backed an earlier criminal court's decision to administer the death penalty, said court spokeswoman Hiromi Takano.

最高法院驳回了Hayashi的呼吁和较早的刑事法院的决定，，法院发言人Hiromi Takano说。

In the last 20 years, the United States has extended the death penalty to more than 60 crimes and speeded up executions by restricting the right of the convicted to appeal.
