[edit] Minimum age for death penalty in Connecticut
Can anyone find information on the minimum age for the death penalty in Connecticut in the decade before Roper v Simmons? I was suprised to find that New Hampshire had the Juvenile Death Penalty and I believe I read somewhere that Connecticut did too. smb2aSmb2a (talk) 15:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Check out this page: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=27&did=203 [1]. It says that prior to Roper vs. Simmons (2005), there were three states (Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina) that set age 16 as the minimum age for execution. Thanks. (Joseph A.

- No, that just means they can be tried as adults. It has nothing to do with the death penalty. I made the same mistake myself.

- Can anyone give me some info inmate Raymond Lewie, executed on Oct. 1 1946 at age 19 along with the two other killers, 1 year and 7 months after the murder of a corrections officer. Given the timing, he may be the last juvenile offender put to death in Connecticut.
