WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court reaffirmed its June ruling that capital punishment is unconstitutional for crimes short of murder, rejecting pleas from the Bush administration and the state of Louisiana to reconsider in light of new information.
In June, the court ruled, 5 to 4, that a Louisiana statute providing the death penalty for raping a child under age 12 violated the Eighth Amendment, which bans 'cruel and unusual punishments.' The case dealt with the March 1998 rape by Patrick Kennedy of his 8-year-old stepdaughter. The aggravated-rape conviction, combined with the victim's age, resulted in a sentence of death under Louisiana's rape laws.
The claim was reportedly contained in court papers obtained by a celebrity website following Ms Stone's unsuccessful custody battle with her former husband Phil Bronstein.
The document portrayed the 50-year-old star of the Basic Instinct films as an alarmist parent who had become convinced that Roan, whom the couple adopted, suffered from a spinal condition despite there being 'no evidence' to back up her belief.
Judge Anne-Christine Massullo of San Francisco Superior Court also reportedly suggested that Ms Stone's acting commitments meant that she was often an absent parent who passed on many of her responsibilities to third parties because of her busy schedule and frequent travels.
The document, known as a Tentative Statement of Decision, set out the judge's decision to deny Ms Stone's request to have custody arrangements modified to allow her to bring the child, who lives with Mr Bronstein in San Francisco, to her home in Los Angeles.
Ms Stone separated from Mr Bronstein, a newspaper editor, five years ago and the couple later divorced quietly
