The law before and now

 * The united states supreme court protects those who are below the age of 15 or younger for the death penalty
 * The death penalty has been going on since the early 1600s, one of the first documented executions was in 1634, a 16 year old boy was hung for having intercourse with a mare, a cow and goats. The youngest girl to be executed was 12 year old Native American Hannah Ocuish. She murdered a 6 year old white girl in 1786. The use of executing children under the age of 18 has been going on for many years.
