Gov. Frank O'Bannon signed a bill that would keep juveniles from facing the death penalty. Shortly before it adjourned this month, the Indiana General Assembly approved legislation to raise the state's minimum age for the death penalty from 16 to 18 and require judges to follow juries' recommendations (see February 6). Indiana has not executed a juvenile in at least 100 years, and none is currently on death row.
