a bill to end juvenile death penalty passed the Senate.

a bill to end juvenile death penalty passed the Senate. The death penalty bill by Sen. Steve Bryles, D-Blytheville, passed 24-9 with 2 members voting present. Bryles told Senate members that condemning juveniles to death "sends the wrong message to society." Bryles' bill next goes to the House. 
The measure has already been approved by the House, but that chamber must consider amendments added by the Senate before the bill can be sent to Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has said he will support the measure.
