Not a fan of this; I remember the McMartin trials of the 80s at a preschool. YES, it's a horrible crime. But if kids can be swayed to lop off their parts then I don't think it's a stretch to say those younger can have their memories/perceptions groomed! Little sympathy for genuine offenders, but methinks such laws too often would be embraced by a "righteous" mob.

Not good, but (yes, I mean this) our world has bigger problems!

"I was with you until that last line..." I can already hear.

I'm sure it would be like most death penalty cases now.

DNA evidence would have to be introduced before it became a capital case.
