Home Press Room >> Humanists Laud Court Decision Striking Juvenile Death Penalty: Practice Declared Cruel and Unusual Press Release Humanists Laud Court Decision Striking Juvenile Death Penalty: Practice Declared Cruel and Unusual For Immediate Release - Contact: Roy Speckhardt (202) 238-9088 rspeckhardt@americanhumanist.org www.americanhumanist.org (Washington, DC, March 1, 2005) The Supreme Court announced today that the execution of Americans under eighteen is unconstitutional. “We commend the Supreme Court’ s decision which recognizes that the juvenile death penalty is “cruel and unusual,” states Tony Hileman, executive director of the American Humanist Association. “There’s a sickness in thinking justice can be found in killing juveniles and the mentally disabled,” says Hileman. This follows in the footsteps of the Court’s 2002 decision in protecting the mentally disabled from execution. “It’s a triumph that the Supreme Court sees the severity and injustice of existing capital punishment laws, has recognized the trend in our society away from such heinous retributions, and has taken a bold step in the right direction,” adds Hileman. “The freedom and dignity of the individual person is a central Humanist value. Archaic capital punishment laws lag behind our societies’ moral sensibility and we must acknowledge that use of the death penalty is dangerous to individual life and liberty,” continues Hileman.
