Juvenile Death Penalty I do not entirely oppose the death penalty. But, I believe, with an overwhelmingnumber of Americans, that executing high school students is wrong. http://www.aleisenberg.com/JuvenileDeathPenalty.htm
Extractions: Legislative Assistant,(804)698-1047 On February 4, 2004 Delegate Al Eisenberg made the following floor speech in the Virginia House of Delegates on the Juvenile Death Penalty (HB1341): "Virginia should abolish the death penalty for 16 and 17 year olds. I do not entirely oppose the death penalty. I would have pulled the lever myself to send the Nazi war criminals to hell. But, I believe, with an overwhelming number of Americans, that executing high school students is wrong. Yes, teenagers can and do commit horrendous crimes, and such crimes must be punished and harshly. And our hearts first and foremost must go out to the victims and their families. Yet, I believe that the ultimate penalty for teenagers does not belong in a civilized society. They are not adults, and we should not throw away all chance in salvaging a life from a life lost. The death penalty is losing favor. States have been reluctant to execute 16 and 17 year olds. A Gallup poll shows that 69 percent of Americans oppose the death penalty for offenders under 18.
