Juvenile Death Penalty Banned
For those of you who haven't heard, the U.S. Supreme Court barred states from executing people under the age of 18. This means that about 70 young'uns on death row throughout the country will have to be resentenced, including that Lee Boyd Malvo kid from the Virginia sniper spree a few years ago.
The court reasoned that "no matter how heinous their crimes, they are not among the worst offenders who deserve to die" and that it's "excessive and cruel" to execute a person younger than 18 at the time of the crime.
So what's your take on this? Did the Supreme Court make the right decision?
