USA: Supreme Court outlaws execution of child offenders - news.amnesty - Amnesty International

USA: Supreme Court outlaws execution of child offenders - news.amnesty - Amnesty International

This says it all:
"Today’s decision by the US Supreme Court outlawing the execution of child offenders -- those who were under 18 at the time of the crime -- finally brings the USA into line with an unequivocal principle of international law, Amnesty International said today, welcoming the ruling."

Well,, finally, maybe there is hope for our country......

And for those who still think the death penalty is a good idea, I can't help but think of a quote from Gandhi - "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."
