Death penalty banned for crimes other than murder[edit]

The U. S. Supreme Court (in 2008) banned the death penalty if the underlying crime is not murder. See, for example, Child rapists can't be executed, Supreme Court rules . Also, Toobin: Death penalty will be reserved for murderers. From the second cited source: "The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday morning that child rapists cannot be given the death penalty, effectively reserving the punishment only for murderers." The case is Kennedy v. Louisiana. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:56, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
