Found/plead Guilty of Acts of Terror constitutes waiver of 8th Amendment protection from cruel and unusual punishment

Created by M.K. on April 20, 2013

Those individuals who either plead guilty to, or are found guilty of committing Acts of Terrorism as enumerated in Title 18, Chapter 113B of the United States Code; should be found to have knowingly and voluntarily waived their 8th Amendment protections from cruel and unusual punishment.

Nearly every freedom guaranteed by the Bill of Rights has exceptions/limitations created by legislative or judicial action. These include our freedoms of speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. Certain acts that citizens perform can effectively narrow or waive these important rights.

Thus, those individuals who are found or plead guilty to Acts of Terror, should be found to have knowingly waived their protections under the 8th Amendment protecting them from cruel and unusual punishment
