Capital Idea

Our enlightened judiciary declared it illegal to execute juvenile offenders but offered no guidance regarding what constitutes a "juvenile." We now need a Juvenility Index to determine which criminals lack sufficient maturity and judgment to qualify for death. A few simple Yes/No questions should suffice; for example, "Do you talk to angels or dead people, or believe that others can?" A "Yes" clearly indicates that one is too juvenile (at any age) for capital punishment.
