BATON ROUGE, LA (KPEL) —Louisiana's Attorney General, Liz Murrill, is pushing to reinstate the death penalty for Child Rape. It's clear what Attorney General Murrill's stance is: "As I've stated many times before, child rapists deserve the death penalty. If the ruling is revised, states will be allowed to impose the death penalty for non-homicidal crimes against children. Kennedy v. LouisianaIn 2008, when the ruling in Kennedy v. Louisiana was passed, it stated that the death penalty would violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment if the victim survives. Since the 2008 ruling, some states have passed new laws that do enforce the death penalty in cases where the victim lives.
