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.

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.

QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Mar 8 2007, 11:10 AM)  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. 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. (I'm not a lawyer though, so this is conjecture on my part) This post has been edited by pebkac: Mar 8 2007, 09:19 PM -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

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?
