Idaho governor signs into law child sex abuse death penalty bill despite U.S. Supreme Court

ruling.

Nice.

So widely supporting the Idaho legislator, the bill is likely to face constitutional challenges.

Lawmakers acknowledge, but they are hopeful law will prevail.

Now look at the date there.

If you look at the date,

what's the date? March 27. So let me read this to you on what this is really all about and what it

means and how different this is than everywhere else. Okay. So this is called the House Bill 380,

Governor Brad Little, okay, in regards to death penalty for a new offense called

aggravated lewd conduct with a child age 12 years or younger.

This covers certain severe sexual abuse cases against very young children under 12,

but only if the case meets at least three of the 17 specific aggravated factors,

okay, multiple incidents, use of force, causing injury, transmitting a disease, et cetera, et cetera.

If that happens, Idaho made, you ready for this, firing squad.

Oh, my God.

The state's primary method of execution, effective around mid-20206,

replacing the lethal injection as the default due to drug shortages. Firing Squad. Okay, Vinnie,

firing squad. The lawmaking firing squad method takes into effect July 1st of 2026. Before that day,

the state cannot use it as a default. And executions overall have been paused while the prison

builds and prepares a new firing squad facility. They're building a firing squad facility.

Okay. For folks like the construction and training are still underway.
