Wow, that's great! I'm moving to Oklahoma!
Its about time the legislatures started passing this type of law. Too bad SCOTUS will strike it down in due time.
Oklahoma has it's head attached straight.
I want the "and-your-gonna-get-beat-senseless-and-we-hang-you-from-a-light-pole-and-let-the-crows-pick-your-eyes-out" amendment.
This is great. I hope this type of legislation gets passed in all 50 states.
I've said it before. These sex offenders are broken beyond our ability to fix them. They need to be sent back to their Maker for repair.
I agree that anyone who repeats such an offense deserves the death penalty. (For that matter, anyone who commits the first offense deserves it.)
However, I would worry that this law might give the sex offender an incentive to kill his victim. If he is subject to the death penalty anyway, it would be tempting to get rid of the witness.
The only thing wrong with this is they have to wait for a second child's life to be damaged b/f cleaning up the gene pool.
This should apply to any rapist, but it's moot. The Supreme Court ruled years ago that you cannot execute for rape, punishment exceeds the crime as I recall.
A step in the right direction. Hoepfully they also have automatic death penalty for child killers.
Uh..oh! The Gay ...er...NAMBLA lobbyists are going to get their panties in a wad over this.
So someone that touches a 13yo twice, gets the same punishment as someone that rapes a 13yo twice?

Any perp covered by this law would have a *very* strong incentive to kill his second victim.
Also,I'll wager that the SCOTUS would strike it down as "unusual",meaning that the punishment is not in proportion to the nature of the crime,as is the case with executing a murderer.
This directly goes against existing Supreme Court precedent, which makes it exceedingly unlikely to withstanding judicial review. A waste of tax payers' money imho.
Sex crimes in Oklahoma plummet.
Sex crimes in other states go up a little.
Even priests????
What will the Catholic Church say???
How about the Amish?
I wonder if religious figures won't get a break..
and I wonder about an 18yr old guy dating a young girl..them too?
Lets see how this plays out. I doubt they will pass the bill. No matter how much we want them too.
This is a country that allows illegals to do whatever they want, taxes the poor and pardons the rich, and cannot protect its own border.
I doubt the government will help us with this problem either.
Good start.
Now it should be changed to make it a mandatory sentence for anyone who commits the crime AT ALL.
Then we need to move it into the realm of rape. But with a rider that makes the alleged victim subject to the same penalties if what she testified to is proven to be false.
The death penalty? Well, thank heavens that a child under 14 would never lie about something like that, or is capable of being manipulated to lie.
If this becomes law, a father can get the death penalty for hugging his little 2 year-old daughter if the local CSD catches him at it.
All it will do, IMHO, is give sex offenders a reason to actually kill those whom they commit the offense against, in order to try and limit their chances of being caught. Cause heck, if they're going to hang anyways, might as well try to not get caught.
The SCOTUS in Coker v. Georgia said as much. A rapist who does not take the life of his victim should not receive a more severe sentence than a deliberate killer. Want to lock the scum away in prison for the rest of his life? Fine by me.
Go ahead and flame away, I've already heard it all.
