USA - Tennessee. Camera approva pena di morte per stupro di minori

April 22, 2024:

22/04/2024 - Tennessee. La Camera ha approvato 77-19 il ddl HB1663 per la pena di morte in caso di stupro di minori
Un disegno di legge equivalente, SB 1834, è già stato approvato dal Senato il 9 aprile (vedi), e quindi alla legge ora manca solo La ratifica del Governatore Bill Lee, anche lui Repubblicano, come la forte maggioranza dei parlamentari.
La nuova legge autorizzerebbe lo Stato a perseguire la pena capitale quando un adulto viene condannato per stupro aggravato di un bambino anche senza la morte della vittima. I condannati potrebbero essere condannati a morte, all'ergastolo senza possibilità di libertà condizionata o all'ergastolo. Il governatore della Florida Ron DeSantis ha promulgato una legge simile un anno fa. I sostenitori di entrambi gli Stati sostengono che l'obiettivo è quello di indurre la Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti, attualmente controllata dai conservatori, a riconsiderare una sentenza del 2008 (Kennedy contro Louisiana) che ha giudicato incostituzionale l'uso della pena capitale nei casi di violenza sessuale su minori che non avessero comportato la morte della vittima, ritenendola una "punizione crudele e inusuale". 7 Stati hanno approvato leggi simili che consentono la pena capitale per lo stupro di un minore di 12 anni, e che si contrappongono alla sentenza Kennedy contro Louisiana. Ultimamente in diversi stati i Repubblicani stanno presentando leggi come questa del Tennessee, confidando che oggi la Corte Suprema ha una forte maggioranza conservatrice, e potrebbe ribaltare il divieto. I democratici hanno obiettato che il disegno di legge aumenterebbe la pressione psicologica negativa sulle vittime, che “parlando” potrebbero causare l’esecuzione di qualcuno che a volte risulta essere un parente o un amico di famiglia. Altri temono che, non avendo niente da perdere, i predatori potrebbero essere incentivati a uccidere le loro vittime per evitare la pena capitale.
