In a 5-4 vote, the court said the Louisiana law allowing the death penalty to be imposed in such cases violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. ...The Supreme Court banned executions for rape in 1977 in a case in which the victim was an adult woman. Forty-five states ban the death penalty for any kind of rape, and the other five states allow it for child rapists. Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas allow executions in such cases if the defendant had previously been convicted of raping a child.

Kahne overcomes penalty to dominate at Pocono
2008-06-08 21:06:00 LONG POND, Pa — Kasey Kahne promised a month ago to use momentum to turn his slumping season around. Boy, has he delivered. Kahne dominated Sunday at Pocono Raceway for his second victory in the last three Sprint Cup Series points races. Counting his win in the All-Star race last month, Kahne has been to Victory Lane three times in the past four events. And he should probably thank his fans for this season-saving run that’s pushed him into championship contention. Kahne’s fans voted him into the All-Star event, and after picking up the $1 million first prize, he vowed to parlay the victory into a strong surge through the summer months of the schedule. Although he bobbled with a 31st-place finish last week at Dover, he owned the weekend at Pocono. Kahne started from the pole, overcame an early pit road penalty that dropped him to 38th and led a race-high 69 of the 200 laps in his Dodge. "Never. I’ve never had a car that dominant before," Ka...

Is Transfer Of Loan or Deposit By Book Entreis Liable To Penalty U/s 269SS
2008-05-24 16:37:00 There is a private company. It has taken loan from a party exceeding RS 20,000. Now party wants to transfer this money to someone's name. Can private company do that? Will that book transfer fall under mischief of any section of the I T Act. Ritha BangIn my opinion , there will not be any penalty u/s 269 SS or 269T , because if such transfer is done with consent of the lender and the person on whose name it is to be transferred, there is no illegality in such action. Such , adjustment is perfect as far as I T Act is concerned.Section 269SS prohibits acceptance of loan or deposit exceeding Rs 20,000by any mode other than account payee cheque or draft . Section 269TT prohibits repayment of loan exceeding Rs 20,000 by any mode other than account payee cheque or draft.Section 269SS appears in Chapter XX B which came to be inserted by the Income tax (Second Amendment) Act, 1981, with effect from July 11, 1981.

Cop Killing Illegal Immigrant Spared Death Penalty
2008-05-22 14:01:00 Illegal Immigrant Juan Leonardo Quintero-Perez, who killed police officer Rodney Johnson 2 years ago, was spared the death penalty at his sentencing yesterday: Almost two years ago, Juan Leonardo Quintero predicted in a jail house interview that he would be sent to the death chamber for shooting Houston police officer Rodney Johnson. “I was wrong,” he said Wednesday from a Harris County jail a day after he was sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. It was a verdict that outraged Johnson’s family and local law enforcement but served as a victory for death penalty opponents in a county that has sent more people to Texas’ death row than any other. The verdict also reignited debate about illegal immigration, as Quintero had been deported before he sneaked back into the United States. {Source: Houston Chronicle} Let me reiterate my thoughts about this from when I posted on this story on May 9th: Enough is enough already. This is THE deciding issue f...

Inbound Link Penalty Issues in Google
2008-05-14 14:19:00 I was reading Web Optimist’s blog on being penalised for someone else’s paid links (which isn’t very optimistic!) and I had to read it through a couple of times to get the gist of what he was saying. This is the paragraph that caused me to pause “This is where Google’s minus 60 penalty appears to be unjust. It has the potential of penalizing the innocent. Say someone linking to you has bought text links and Google penalizes them. That means you are going to indirectly be penalized as well because that #1 link to you is now at #61. If several sites linking to you get penalized, it could really hurt.” Whilst that’s true in essence I’m not sure where the unjust bit comes into it. The World Wide Web is a whole network of links, which is the basis of many of Google’s ranking factors. Every link has a value, and the fact that one has been devalued is just another element in the process of SEO. Links get devalued for lots of reasons...

Call for vaccine opt-out penalty
2008-05-11 10:13:00 BBC reports. "Tough sanctions are being proposed for parents who refuse routine vaccinations, such as MMR.In an article for the Fabian Society, leading public health expert Sir Sandy Macara called for child benefit to be linked with vaccination uptake.And Labour MP Mary Creagh said children should have to prove they are vaccinated before they start school to improve uptake of MMR.The Department of Health said vaccination was voluntary.Public confidence in vaccination, and in MMR particularly, fell after research raised the possibility that the jab may be linked to an increased risk of autism. One ought to recognise that mothers have a responsibility for ensuring their children are protected Sir Sandy Macara, public health expertThe research has since been debunked, and a string of studies have concluded that the triple vaccine - which protects against rubella and mumps as well as measles - is perfectly safe.But immunisation rates are still well below the 95% needed for herd immun...

Virginia death penalty moratorium lifted post-Supreme Court decision
2008-04-17 12:47:00 Virginia Governor Tim Kaine lifted a moratorium on the execution (so to speak) of the death penalty procedure in the state after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Kentucky's three drug lethal execution cocktail. The court ruled that there was no constitutional requirement that executions be completely free of the risk of pain.Governor Kaine is well-known as a personal opponent of the death penalty and no doubt had hoped that the court would have knocked down the Kentucky procedure and by extension, Virginia's as well. Of course to get elected as governor in the first place, Kaine had also promised to "uphold the law" so with the court back on board with safeguarded lethal injections, he had no reasonable alternative to lifting the moratorium.----What was disingenuous was Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell's criticism of Kaine enacting the moratorium in the first place. The attorney general should be upholding the law, not leaving the state liable for a potentially irreversible u...

Penalty on the Singapore house as banks woo customers
2008-04-17 06:16:00 Penalty on the Singapore house as banks woo customers Some are repricing home loans lower, others offer to subsidise penalties By SIOW LI SEN (SINGAPORE) As home sales continue to slide, banks are going all out to hang on to their existing home loan borrowers and even poach from their rivals. Some are even offering to pay off the penalties that customers may incur making the switch. Â Â Flexibility has become a byword and new packages are getting more imaginative. In anticipation of interest rates falling even further, one new DBS home loan package offers two free repricings within 24 months. At United Overseas Bank (UOB), customers can fix the monthly payments for 36 months regardless of interest rate changes. At Standard Chartered Bank, borrowers don’t even have to call. The UK-based bank has begun repricing home loans downwards for existing customers on variable rate packages. It is understood to be the first bank to do so given the steep falls in interest rates since las...
