Best read of the day so far....Guest Bloggers John J. Donohue III and Daniel Schuker at Balkanization, Dodging the Death Penalty Bullet for Child Rape, about why the Kennedy v. LA decision, despite it's two factual errors, was the right decision.

I hope someone sends it to the Obama campaign.

    Really interesting part of the article (5.00 / 3) (#2)

    and the background linked in, was the almost perfect unanimity of racial breakdowns in executions for rape:  where there were black defendants and white victims, the defendant was executed.

    Also, in the military application of the death penalty (pre 1964)- black rape defendants were
    executed while white defendants convicted of murder (even multiple murders) were not.

    But, of course, the blogs lie.  We all know that.
