However I did state that is that eye for an eye is just.
When you wander away from that in any direction then you are wandering away from civilization. Justice must not either over or under sentence but the punishment should fit what the person has done. For rape the sentence should be death because you killed who the victim was. After surviving a rape the victim will have a long climb back to anywhere that resembles who they were and they will never get there. They have been changed.
From what I read, the crime of “sexual predator” encompasses a huge range of crimes. From “ Romeo & Juliette” to exposure or peeing on the side of the road.
Child rape however does not encompass a huge range of crimes. And that is what he pleaded guilty of doing.
I have wondered if the use of the death penalty should be expanded. Not that I think crime is more prevalent, per capita, than in the past...but because the population has risen and crime along with it.
If, or when that happens, that should be the penalty. The only “over and above” would be the incarceration. Nothing more.
