Death penalty now possible in Tennessee (home of Varsity Brands) for CSA
Starting July 1st, a new law in Tennessee (where Varsity Brands is based in Memphis) allows the death penalty for Child Sexual Assault:
“On May 9, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee signed a bill authorizing the death penalty for aggravated rape of a child, following Florida’s passage of a similar law last year. Both laws contradict longstanding Supreme Court precedent holding the death penalty unconstitutional for non-homicide crimes. Tennessee’s law takes effect on July 1.”
This change could affect cases similar to the lawsuits and investigations we've reported here: 👉 Check out our “lawsuits & investigations“ page.
