Supreme Court Rejects Death Penalty for Child Rape
It will go the way it always goes, The way it seems to go, The more we 'know' , the more 'comfortable' we are with the story....And the more the original tragedy ends up forgotten.
.......... edit. ; Just read the recent post's and agree with all. We defiantly need to know the implications of this ruling. SOrry for being melodramatic :rastasmoke: .jessejames12345 Reviewed by jessejames12345 on . Supreme Court Rejects Death Penalty for Child Rape ??The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child,? Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the court. He was joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer. The court overturned a ruling by the Louisiana Supreme Court, which had held that child rape is unique in the harm it inflicts not just upon the victim but on society and that, short of first-degree murder, no crime is more deserving of the death penalty.
