A new law in Mississippi has expanded the state's death penalty. The change adds a specific crime to the list of those eligible for the death penalty. This crime is sexual battery of a child, but only in cases where the child is under a certain age.
The age threshold is 12 years old. Further details about the law are available from KTVU FOX 2 News, which reported on the development in Mississippi's capital punishment rules.
