QUOTE In a bill designed to crack down on sex offenders who repeatedly prey on children, the House voted to create a new category of crime  continual sexual abuse of a young child or children  that carries a minimum of 25 years to life in prison and possibly the death penalty for a second offense.

Slippery slope to prescribe the death penalty for crimes beyond their "eye for an eye" justification...

instead, why don't we just send them to prison and assign an inmate to rape them on a regular basis....wouldn't that be an eye for an eye?

The sad thing about this is that the supreme court ruled that a man raping an adult women couldn't be put to death constitutionally. They didn't address whether repeat offenders or pedos could.
Problem is that if someone were charged with this crime, they would be set free as soon as higher courts simply ruled it what it would be: unconstitutional... thus a pedo, or repeat sexual predator would walk because of this ass hat's law. -------------------- |

What about those guards sexually molesting boys at that West Texas Youth Detention place?

I'm pretty sure they'd have to go back to court for re-sentencing if the higher courts deemed the death penalty unconstitutional in such cases.

They just need space in prisons so it's easier to kill them off than to keep moving them around or setting them free.

Well, the problem is that there wouldn't be any law to sentence them under if it were declared unconstitutional. And they couldn't sentence them under a new one because of the ex post facto clause of the constitution.

They are passing a new law, not just forming a new sentencing for the guys. So in the very least, if only the death penalty was unconstitutional and they wanted to still preserve the law, they'd either have to give a new trial or new sentencing. However, with it being a new law, if the only sentence for a "second" offender was the death penalty. And they are convicted on the ground of being a "second time offender", then they may very well walk, with there being no other thing to charge them with and no other sentence to give them. Either way would be a waste of money and time... -------------------- |

To get around it, just charge and convict them on two counts: one for sexual offense and one for repeat offender. If repeat offender is ruled unconstitutional, then the sexual offense count is still there to keep the offender in jail for at least a year or two. -------------------- Spam?
