The chairman of Delaware s judiciary committee introduced legislation to Reinli Tut a Public whip Ping Post As punishment for convicted drug offenders. Though the measure was first greeted with amusement. Inc laugh Ter died Down after the sponsor state sen. Thomas Sharp passed the Hill out of committee for a pos sible floor  things gel slow Well kick that  said Sharp a Democrat who maintains the measure would be a useful deterrent to drug crimes. It ought to make for some interesting  in 1955. Delaware became the last stale in the nation to abolish whipping As a form of punishment. Critics say the thought of Dela Ware enacting inc whipping Post Bill would do Little to enhance the image of a state often considered by outsiders As Little More than an Extension of Pennsylvania and a lax Haven for corporations. It could make Delaware the laughingstock of the nation Possi Bly inc  said Judy Mcllan. Executive director 9f the Delaware american civil liberties Union. If it survives inc Senate and House. I would Hope thai cooler Heads  the Bill has been tempered . Temperatures somewhat from Sharp s original version which would have made whipping from five to 40 lashes mandatory for anyone convicted of drug trafficking. He amended it to make whipping a sentencing option for judges. Various amendments have been proposed presumably to kill the Bill that include keeping the whip pings private and requiring that the defendant not be bound while the lashes arc administered. One senator even proposed an amendment requiring that a whip be used to prevent the spread of the aids virus.

His chief of staff Michael Ratchford said there is no doubt Castle would veto the Bill. As a practical matter i doubt the governor would sign this sort of draconian step that would Proba Bly not be held constitutional said Ratchford. Sharp knows  despite the alarm Over the concept of the Bill most officials say they understand Sharp s intent. There s so much hysteria Over drugs. People arc responding in ways that Are not Well thought out Mcllan said. And Amick added there s no question it represents the frustration so Many of us feel about Deal ing with this problem.
