Tennessee has enacted a law allowing child rapists to be executed — The Blaze on 📍Tennessee has become the second state after Florida to give juries the right to send people convicted of child sexual abuse to the death penalty. 📍 Previously, a person convicted of raping a child between the ages of 8 and 13 faced 15 to 60 years in prison, and a person convicted of raping a child under the age of 8 faced life in prison without parole (parole). 📍Now, a rapist will face the death penalty or life with parole in the former case and execution or life without parole in the latter case. Execution is only possible if the jury comes to a unanimous verdict.
