The mandatory minimum sentence for receiving child pornography is 15 years in prison.

Perhaps someday we'll all collectively go sane and start executing these people instead of warehousing them. But probably not.

"minimum sentence for receiving child pornography is 15 years in prison."

This law sounds odd - If someone emails (or snail mails) me a kiddie porn image, I can goto jail for 15yrs?

I suppose the devil is in the details, I hope receiving actually means "willfully and knowingly accepting" it.

Execute someone for possessing a CD? I don't see it.

That has been my position for a long time. We hear criticism of the death penalty as being applied too much. I say it isn't applied nearly enough.
