In most States you would get a long jail term. But in some States you would be put to death. It's not about the morality of the death penalty. Personally, I have no problem with it under certain conditions. But I do have a problem with the dueness of the process.
Most people think of the United States as a country, which it is.
But the United States is also a federation of 50 separate states. The Constitution assigns specific areas of responsibility to the central government. Everything else is pretty much left up to the states, each of which can set its own rules on a variety of matters ranging from environmental controls to taxes to criminal penalties. At the same time, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence grant to EACH citizen certain inalienable rights and a guarantee of due process under the law. When you stop and think about it, there is a fundamental contradiction between granting the separate States the right to go their own way while promising to ALL citizens that they will be treated equally under the law.
