Jessie’s Law

[serryjw]

quote........
South Carolina will soon have some of the strongest sex offender legislation in the nation, including a death penalty provision for repeat child molesters, if Gov. Mark Sanford signs Jessie’s Law (Senate Bill 1138) in the next few days.
Spokesman Joel Sawyer says Sanford has given his word to make that happen.
“The governor is very much in support of this bill, and he supports the death penalty provision,” Sawyer said. “He believes that this is an important step in protecting some of our state’s most vulnerable citizens — our children.”

I am against the death penalty. I would sooner use it for child molesters than murders BUT I think a 2nd time offender should get life w/o parole.

1. Life w/o possiblity of parole is severe enough for me as well.

It certainly is a terrible fate...and it allows for the possiblity of a correction in the event that a mistake was made.
We are the only major industrialized country that still has capital punishment.....and no universal health care.

What was it that Dimson said about "old Europe"?
