Two men convicted in the grisly 2007 murders of a Connecticut family will no longer face the death penalty now that the state Supreme Court has ruled that it’s unconstitutional. Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky were originally sentenced to death for breaking into the Petit family home, raping and strangling Jennifer Hawke-Petit, tying up her two daughters Hayley and Michaela, and then setting the house on fire. Dr. William Petit, Jennifer’s husband and the father of the two girls, was beaten, but he managed to flee to call for help.
How can the CT State Supreme Court rule that the death penalty is unconstitutional, when the "Due Process" clauses in the 5th and 14th Amendments specifically include it among permissible punishments for criminal activity?
Because liberals don't give a damn about silly little things like "laws".
