Boise, Idaho ~ In a recent statement, Governor Brad Little of Boise, Idaho addressed the controversial House Bill 380 that he signed into law last week. The bill allows for the death penalty to be imposed on pedophiles charged with aggravated lewd conduct with children aged 12 and younger. It also includes stricter punishments for other convicted pedophiles.
Governor Little emphasized the severity of these crimes, stating that they have a lasting impact on victims and their families. He described them as "sickening and evil" and believes that those found guilty should face the ultimate punishment.
