Thousands have signed a petition calling for the hanging of a man who allegedly raped and beat to death his girlfriend’s 10-month-old baby girl.
But while West Virginia abolished the death penalty decades ago, many are now calling are on the White House to change the rules for Taylor if he's found guilty.
The petition states 'Prison is too good for child rapists and their ilk'.
If the Obama Administration gets 100,000 signatures in 30 days it will be forced to consider the plea.
The girl's mother Amanda Leigh Adkins reportedly woke up on Monday to find her baby girl naked and bleeding on her basement floor.
Emmaleigh suffered extensive bleeding indicating a brutal sexual assault, according to a criminal complaint.
She also is said to have shown signs of having been shaken and struck in the face.
The little girl was later declared brain dead at the hospital, reports the Mail online.
The petition had nearly 32,000 signatures as of Friday morning.
