Death penalty now possible in Tennessee (home of Varsity Brands) for CSA​

Starting July 1st, a new law in Tennessee (where Varsity Brands is based in Memphis) allows the death penalty for Child Sexual Assault:

“On May 9, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee signed a bill authorizing the death penalty for aggravated rape of a child, following Florida’s passage of a similar law last year. Both laws contradict longstanding Supreme Court precedent holding the death penalty unconstitutional for non-homicide crimes. Tennessee’s law takes effect on July 1.”
