The U.S. supreme Court has ruled, NO death Penalty for Child Rape.

Guess we'll have to go back to the old system. Let the other Inmates know what that sucker is in for.

I have no faith whatsoever in the supreme court.. they are so out of touch with reality its not funny... do they even know the cost of a gallon of gas or a doz. eggs.. or a loaf of bread.. They are waited on, driven everywheres and a total waste of tax dollars. Some of em are so old that its a disgrace.

wanna cut the budget.. enforce the death penalty, dont have em sitting on death row for 20 yrs.. who do you think is paying for all this crap... US... Prison is Prison, not some resort where you supposed to enjoy yourself, tv, movies, deluxe meals and then to bitch about your so called ice cream or desert... as far as I am concerned.. prison should be hell.. after all you did the crime , you do the time..

we need to go back to the chain gangs, make em work and no luxuries.

BB, I've read a number of supercourt decisions.

In the most part, if you take the time to read the actual decision, you can see where it is correct.

Occasionally, they are overturned.

This is one decision I agreed with.

Too many factors, including "children lie".

And that's a point which might leave doubt, as you say, Jim...

As Ron White put it, "Some states may have a never ending appeal process, but in Texas, we're putting in an express lane. If you commit a capital crime before three or more witnesses, you go straight to the chair."
(OK, I forgot exactly how he said it.)

Something must be done about the heinous behavior that seems to flourish, these days.
Death is too good for some of them.

I say the rack, or iron maiden, would be a significant deterrent.

If it was done to one of mine there would be two death penalties one me killing him and two the state killing me.

I am NOT against the death penalty when it is proven without a doupt... but, when you consider how many persons are charged with crimes (by children) that arn't true - it makes me step back on this one.

I think Texas has it right - the express lane is the only way to handle the process when handed that sentence.

All convictions are made beyond a reasonable doubt. And when it's a case as henious as Child rape, I think burning at the stake is a very good option. To say your concerned about the possibility of our court system to make a mistake because children lie, but that you support the death penalty doesn't jive. People lie no matter what age. Either the system works, or it works well enough, or it doesn't work. Will some people die innocently, yes. But you run that same risk no matter what the crime. So if you support the death penalty, then you should support it no matter where it is applied.
