Print the announcement forms Sunday, February 02, 2003 Death penalty reform on legislative agenda Bills deal with retarded, juveniles, three-judge panels By SEAN WHALEY REVIEW-JOURNAL CAPITAL BUREAU Senior correction officer Johnnie Hill adjusts a restraint July 9 in the execution chamber at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City. Warden Mike Budge, rear, said the death chamber is in an area of the prison that is too crowded and recent court rulings have created uncertainty over the future of capital punishment. Photo by CATHLEEN ALLISON / AP CARSON CITY Though there has yet to be a call for a moratorium on executions, and though no Nevada death row inmate is in immediate jeopardy of seeing his sentence carried out, capital punishment issues will be at the forefront of the 2003 Legislature. Bills banning the execution of the mentally retarded and eliminating the use of three-judge panels to impose death sentences in some cases will be heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee beginning next week. Those changes to Nevada's death penalty law must occur because of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. And another effort to ban executions of those who were juveniles when their crimes were committed also is expected, which should prove more controversial. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up this issue earlier this year. Nevada allows the death penalty to be imposed on teens as young as 16. An effort to change the law in 2001 failed.

Capital Punishment: A Heinous Crime by Regan Johnson '02 Although it may take a back seat in the media to other current global human rights issues, the continued use of the death penalty in the U.S. remains one of the world's biggest human rights abusers. Our government claims to protect the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and, like it or not, was founded on the ethics of a major religious tradition that asserts "thou shall not kill." Yet while murder is considered one of the most heinous criminal offences in our country, perhaps it would be more accurate for the law books to state "it is a crime to take the life of another human being, unless it is done by the government." This government is not the fair and just actor that we would like to imagine. Evidence shows that on top of the moral hypocrisies that abound in the idea of capital punishment, there are many injustices that occur in the application of the death penalty in the United States. The largest and best documented of these injustices are racial biases in sentencing death penalties, but we also are guilty of injustices involving the execution of mentally ill and juvenile offenders. The statistics are alarming: 80% of the death row inmates executed have been convicted of killing whites. In fact, blacks found guilty of killing whites are more likely than any other group to receive a death sentence. Blacks convicted for killing whites are five times more likely to receive a death sentence than whites killing whites in Florida, and six times more likely to receive a death sentence in Texas.

33. Death Penalty - Juvenile Issue Brief v The death penalty Information Center. juveniles and the death penalty. Bureauof Justice Statistics capital punishment 1999. http://www.nmha.org/position/deathpenalty/juvissuebrief.cfm

Death Penalty and People with Mental Illness Background Of the 3,700 people on death row today, two percent were juveniles at the time they committed their offenses. [i]   Since 1973, 18 juvenile offenders have been executed. [ii] Nearly twenty-five percent of these executions occurred in 2000 alone. One contributing factor to this outrageous statistic is the fact that almost every state in the past nine years has made it easier to try juveniles as adults. [iii] Though the United States is the most outspoken country in human rights issues, it remains the only nation in the world that has not yet ratified the United Nations Convention Article 37a, which states that “Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment without the possibility of release shall be imposed for offenses committed by persons below eighteen years of age.” [iv] Seventy-two males who were under eighteen years old at the time of the crime are now serving death sentences in the United States. [v] NMHA considers the execution of people for crimes they committed as children to be unjust and inhumane, serving no principled purpose, and demeaning to our system of justice. For this reason, NMHA joins with the American Bar Association (ABA) in their call for a moratorium of the imposition of the death penalty.

40. Juveniles And The Death Penalty opposing the use of the death penalty for crimes committed as juveniles includingthe ABA has called for a moratorium on capital punishment until each http://www.emory.edu/AAPL/newsletter/N263_Juveniles_death_penalty.htm

Juveniles and the death penalty Diane H. Schetky MD Child and Adolescent Committee The U.S. Supreme court in Thompson v. Oklahoma (1988) decided that the Eighth Amendment prohibited the execution of persons younger than 16 at the time of their crimes. However, in the U.S. we continue to execute 16 and 17 year olds. Of the thirty eight death penalty states, twenty four permit the death penalty for individuals who committed crimes prior to the age of 18. The minimum age at the time of the crime is 16 in 12 states, 17 in 4, and many states do not specify an age. Fourteen states and the Federal system hold a minimum age at time of crime of 18 . Currently, there are about 70 death row inmates who were sentenced as juveniles and 37 % of them are in Texas. Seventeen have been executed for crimes committed as juveniles since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976 and three of these executions occurred earlier this year. Only four other nations, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have executed juveniles in the past decade and there is almost global consensus on the need to eliminate the death penalty for crimes committed as juveniles. The U.S. has been the only country to refuse to sign the UN Convention of the Right of the Child, an international treaty which bars the execution of persons committing crimes before age 18. Opposition to the death penalty, especially for use with juveniles, is mounting. The death penalty is unlikely to have any deterrent value on juveniles as many young juvenile offenders are impulse ridden, highly stimulus reactive and have difficulty planning ahead. Adolescents tend to live in the present, view themselves as invincible and many are easily swayed by peers in their antisocial behavior with little heed to consequences. Some do not value their lives and may even be suicidal. It is precisely because of their emotional and cognitive immaturity and difficulty with decision making that they are not afforded full adult status under the law. Hence, they are not considered old enough to vote, serve as jurors, sign a contract, purchase alcohol, serve in the military or, in some states, marry.
