When a child is raped something precious is taken from the child\u2019s soul. The child may never recover, therefore, I believe this invasion of a child warrants capital punishment, especially since the bill calls for a 2nd conviction of child rape. This also sends a message across the world, that SC does not tolerate the molestations of our kids! Will this sentencing keep perverts out of SC? I certainly hope so.<br \/>\n2-Did\u00a0capital sentancing\u00a0jeopardize the rest of Jessica\u2019s Law bill or our current capital punishment statutes? A \u201cseverability clause\u201d was included in the amendment to prevent this from happening. Also, the language calls for a separate statute that may isolate this sentencing should we get a court challenge.<o:p><\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 28, 2006 was a historic moment in SC history.
