Q : What states have the death penalty for child rapists?

 

Thought for 1m 29s

 

As of July 15, 2025, several U.S. states have enacted laws authorizing the death penalty for child rape or similar sexual offenses against minors where the victim does not die. These laws were passed in defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 ruling in Kennedy v. Louisiana, which held that imposing capital punishment for non-homicide crimes violates the Eighth Amendment. Proponents hope the current Supreme Court composition might overturn or reinterpret that precedent, but no such ruling has occurred yet. As a result, these statutes exist on the books but could face constitutional challenges if applied.The following states have such laws:State
