Child Predators Could Face Execution In Texas

(AP) AUSTIN Backers of a Senate bill to toughen punishment for child-sex offenders said they’ve reached a deal that would permit the death penalty for offenders who repeatedly prey on children.

The compromise bill, which was distributed to Senate members on Tuesday, would allow the death penalty only for those twice convicted of raping a child 13 or younger. It also boosts mandatory minimum sentences for a variety of sex crimes against children.

“The goals here were pretty simple: protect children, send a message to child predators. Texas is not going to tolerate these kinds of heinous crimes,” said Rich Parsons, a spokesman for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a leader of the charge for tougher penalties for child molesters.

The House passed its version of the bill, dubbed Jessica’s Law, last month. It carries a minimum of 25 years to life in prison on a first conviction and possibly the death penalty for a second offense.

The law is named after Jessica Lunsford, a Florida girl who was abducted and killed. More than a dozen states have passed versions of Jessica’s Law to crack down on sex offenders and Gov. Rick Perry has deemed passage of a child sex offender bill a legislative emergency.

Staffers of Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville, the bill’s sponsor, said the Senate could take up the compromise bill as soon as Thursday.

“The only thing we impose the death penalty for is two (penetration) aggravated sexual assaults of a child,” Deuell said.

“There’s a trigger in there that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the death penalty for nonmurder is unconstitutional, then everything will revert back to life without parole.”

The compromise tones down sex-offender penalties initially supported by Dewhurst and Deuell. The original bill called for mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years for a wide variety of sex crimes against children. A second offense for any of those could have resulted in the death penalty.

The compromise bill requires 25-year mandatory sentences only for first convictions of rape of a young child. It also requires many convicted predators to serve 75 percent of their sentences.

The proposal increases sexual assault of a child from a second- to first-degree felony, pushing minimum sentencing from two to 10 years. A second conviction could bring life without parole.

The bill also increases punishment indecency with a child and for possession of large amounts of child pornography.

Defense lawyers weren’t part of most of the compromise negotiations, said David Gonzalez, of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

He criticized the mandatory minimum sentencing and said it’s unconstitutional to sentence the death penalty for nonmurder offenses.

…for dying on the cross to give us mortals an extended weekend. It’s a well needed break.

Assignments handed in, exams done, course finished — I can finally slack off again. Sure, when one course ends another one starts but that is another story. Deadlines and exam dates are so far away at the beginning of a new course which means that I have time to go through my growing porn backlog. It’s a tough thing to do, you can only jack off so many times a day.

Since this is a Jesus post and all I guess I could tell you about the Jehovah’s Witnesses dude who knocked on my door a few days ago. As polite as I am I invited him in and he started babbling about the stuff he is supposed to babble about.

After his rant he asked me about my opinion on what he just had told me. Keeping a straight face I told him that I thought Islam was the best religion. The guy got so agitated and angry I thought he would have a heart attack. Seriously, I’ve never ever seen someone so angry before. Religion is serious business.

A few wars and some crazy extremists aside, when all is said and done, religion isn’t all that bad after all. Without it we wouldn’t have lesbian schoolgirls.

Don’t make any in the first place.

As the man of reason I am, New Year’s Eve is to me a day just like any other day and the idea of New Year’s resolutions must be one of the most pointless things ever. If I want to change I do it, I definitely don’t have to wait a year just to try.

If anyone asks I’m going to reply that my New Year’s resolution is to bring my rape count to a triple-digit figure. What? Is it too low?

I assume that all of you have written “a loli” on the top of your wish lists, so I don’t really need a poll about what you want for Christmas. What I want to know is how you want Santa to deliver your brand new loli.

Would you like her in a box, in ribbons or nude?

Also remember to check that your loli really is new and in mint condition. Demand a replacement if it is used or refurbished. I see no reason to play with used lolis.
