In case Americans read this and get on thier "hollier than thou" routine, remember, we kill kids too.
Amazing that Texas alone kills more kids than Iran, yet we think of ourselves as civilized.

Sure is sick Mr S - from the charges to the execution and *nothing* can be said to defend it. Same with all the executions by stoning, killing of mentality handicapped and children etc..
You are correct in the fact the US is only a few steps above that level in reality and still cannot ratify a human rights treaty. The consideration given to children and the mentality handicapped is little better than Iran in reality - they still get executed.
Huntsville has killed more kids in reality than those recorded. Only found out about five years back when a law agency friend pointed this out - they wait till the kid is of legal age then kill them to keep their hands clean and make it "OK". This person was very familiar with Huntsville and had numerous "chats" with kids who were on death row and, at their request, attended their executions. Sad shit.
