Death penalty ruling fuels juvenile justice debate
Washington AP reports death penalty opponents urge new state laws to shield minors and the mentally disabled after Supreme Court rulings deemed medieval and barbaric. ABA President Robert Raven calls for legislation recognizing youths should not face death. 15 of 37 states bar executions for under 18. The court ruled 5-4 that executions may proceed for killers as young as 16 or with severe mental impairment, while last year it barred executions for 15-year-olds. Other rulings touched punitive damages, Miranda warnings, racketeering laws, and obscenity possession implications.
