Military Death Penalty for Child Rape:
Constitutional After Kennedy? |
| WASHINGTON — In a highly unusual admission of error,
the Justice Department acknowledged on Wednesday that government lawyers
should have known that Congress had recently made the rape of a child a
capital offense in the military and should have informed the Supreme
Court of that fact while the justices were considering whether death was
a constitutional punishment for the crime.

Baze v. Rees - Supreme Court Rejects Baze! APRIL 16, 2008
|
|

Medellin vs. Texas March 25, 2008
|
Execution Date set:
August 5, 2008 |
|
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Bush
overstepped his authority when ordering state courts to review the death
sentences of dozens of Mexican nationals on death row.
The 6-3 decision
in Medellin vs. Texas said the president can't force state courts to adhere
to a ruling by the International Court of Justice.
The 1963 Vienna
Convention says foreigners should have access to their consulate when
arrested, and in 2004 the international court ruled that the death row
inmates should get new hearings to see if not having that access affected
the outcome of their cases.
After the
international court's decision, President Bush directed state courts to
review the cases. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals balked, ruling the
president did not have the authority to issue such an order. |
