In Coker v. Roberts the United States Supreme Court held that the death penality cannot be imposed for any offense which did not involve the death of a human being. These types of crimes show that elite judges have no concept of justice despite their title.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Molesting a child -does- 'cause the death of a human being'.
Ask any of us who have survived it about our "life".
Some molesters kill their victims while others end their lives but leave them breathing.
It's a matter of degree, not difference.
