The article is written wrong. Iowa supreme court can’t ban anything. It’s sandwiched between the Iowa Doj, Iowa legislature.
More obamatron thinking.
Lemme guess which race will be deemed ‘worthy’ of another chance at life...
These people are insane. Then it does accomplish a goal...redistribution. Put the criminals on the streets lower everyone way of life.
Wrong ruling.
So just sentence them to 100 years and don’t call it life...
Did they figure out how to keep juveniles from killing people?
Can you recall judges in Iowa?
Sounds like this ruling would qualify for a reason to put it in front of the voters.
I seem to remember that a liberal judge, coddling criminals, was indeed recalled by the voters in California a few years ago.
First, leftists claim that the death penalty is “cruel and unusual” and ban it, saying we can give life sentences. Now, this.
I miss the rule of law. We wrote the Constitution in which the legislature writes the laws and the executive carries out the laws. The Supreme Court has no business complaining that the laws as written are harsh on murderers. There is nothing cruel about life without parole. It should be common for juvenile thugs who pose a danger to society, so that it could not be called unusual.
Well one way to keep them in is if they attacked a guard (supposedly) or disobeyed rules (supposedly) so that more years could be added to their sentence.
In that case Iowa should go to Short Life sentences.
It’s Iowa. Bwahaha!
These Iowans are in a race to outdo folk from Massachusetts.
There’s a common thread between these two states if you can figure that out.
We should ask the victims of these perps if it is cruel and unusual punishment...Ooops, guess we can't do that, can we?
No killer should get life without parole. They should be executed.
Don’t know if it was correct or not but used to be a saying
Sentenced to a year and a day.
With the meaning being you had to serve the year before you could serve the day.
So, sentence them to 150 years and a day????
Cold blooded murderer should get about 10 days from his arrest to put his affairs in order then have a date with the hangman.
Make them eligible for parole at age 100.
One of my life’s lessons is that whatever a person starts out as when a kid chances are they will be no different when an adult.
My favorite example is hippies. Some may have changed their appearance to mainstream, but the vast majority are still hippies in their way of thinking.
Certain people are born without a conscience (psychopaths) and will be that way for life. If a kid fits that scenario, then there is no rehabilitation for them, just more murder.
That court is wrong!!!!
