Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranInstead of death penalty for extraordinary heinous crimes, detained Senator Leila de Lima wants the convict to suffer life imprisonment without the benefit or grant of parole. De Lima filed the bill amid the planned re-imposition of the death penalty law by allies of the Duterte administration. The de Lima measure seeks to impose qualified reculsion perpetua on extraordinary heinous crimes, such as drug cases and plunder. Explaining her Senate Bill (SB)187, De Lima said the death penalty has failed to prove as an effective deterrence against heinous crimes.
