“....was this from? 9th circus court?”

It was the Supreme Court held in Coker v. Georgia (1977)

“I don’t see how the death of a child rapist would harm the child, family or not..”

You have to realize that not all rapes are brutal. In most child rapes the victim has been groomed and they don’t understand that what is happening is wrong. If it is a father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt etc. I don’t think the child would want them to be put to death. The process of putting someone to death takes years and years with appeal after appeal. This would be making the child, now probably grown up go through it over and over again.

I recently watched a video of a family who’s child was murdered and he got the death penalty. They said having to go through the process of going to court with every appleal has just destroyed their life.

Good points, Spunky.

I can see that the death penalty for a child rapist must not be the same if that rapist is a parent.

Can you imagine becoming an older child (10 or so) and realizing what your parent did to you, how wrong it was, but if you report it, your parent will be put to death?

I don’t know what the answer is, but this is a tough spot to be in. OTOH, there may be kids who would welcome the death penalty for a parent. What a world. Maranatha.

I never thought of that part of it. I guess with the death penalty the appeals can go on for a decade.
