GENERAL BILL by Judiciary Committee ; Criminal Justice Subcommittee ; Baker ; (CO-INTRODUCERS) Bankson ; Black ; Holcomb ; Jacques ; Plakon ; Temple ; Yarkosky
Capital Sexual Battery; Provides for death sentences for certain child sexual offenders; provides for separate death penalty proceedings in such cases; provides for findings & recommended sentences by jury; provides for imposition of sentence of life imprisonment or death; provides requirements for court order in support of death sentence; provides for automatic review of sentences of death; specifies aggravating factors & mitigating circumstances; provides for victim impact evidence; authorizes state to appeal from sentence on specified grounds.
If this gets passed, then certain groups can issue a truthful warning to its child-raping members to seek victims somewhere else.
This absolutely needs to be passed.
Good bill, hope they pass it clean and get it done.
