Clint Eastwood rallies for the death penalty for child crimes. Clint Eastwood insists those who commit heinous crimes against kids should always face the death penalty after researching child abduction and murder for 2 movies. The director of Mystic River and new movie Changeling admits he was shaken up by a visit to Mira Loma, California, where the Northcott ranch murders which inspired his latest film took place. And now, the former Mayor of California coastal town Carmel is pushing for all serious offenders in child abduction and murder cases to be put to death. He tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "Crimes against children are the most hideous of all. I think they would be on the top of my list of justification for capital punishment. In his new film, Angelina Jolie plays the mother of Walter Collins, who is believed to be a victim of sick serial killer Gordon Stewart Northcott, although his missing body has never been found. Northcott was executed in 1930.
