US court closes world’s last juvenile death row
Topic: Current Events 9:29 pm EST, Mar  1, 2005

Excerpt: "In a 5-4 ruling that cited the “overwhelming weight of international opinion,” the high court declared unconstitutional the death penalty for those under the age of 18 when they committed their crimes."

International opinion? Umm. Since when was international opinion a ~formal~ basis for the U.S. Supreme Court? I might just have to search LexisNexis for any prior rulings with that wording. Hrmm. Cheers, -Pk
