Court mulls death penalty for child rape

[AUBGER 0]

Patrick Kennedy, 43, was sentenced to death for the rape of his 8-year-old stepdaughter in Louisiana. He is the only person on death row in the United States for a rape that was not also accompanied by a killing.

The Supreme Court banned executions for rape in 1977 in a case in which the victim was an adult woman.

Kennedy's lawyers say the death penalty for child rape violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment.

The justices will hear arguments in the case in April.

Yeah death does seem to be too good for him. About 1 month ago I heard on the news that a guy raped his 8 days old daughter. What does he deserve?

I can't believe people can be so sick

You savages! So many people need organs, people die waiting for transplants, and you just want to waste the guy?
