A prisoner convicted of murder and facing the death penalty in the state of Texas escapes but is later recaptured by authorities in the state of Vermont. Unlike Texas, Vermont does not have the death penalty. In this case, the state of Vermont is required to: a. turn the prisoner over to the federal prison system b. put the prisoner to death c. hold a new trial in a Vermont court d. incarcerate the prisoner for life without parole e. return the convict to Texas
