If the state had done the right thing and just fried the convicted rapist, we wouldn't be having this embarassment. The problem is really that our criminal justice system is just too lenient. If he had been executed, his death could serve as a deterrent for other would-be rapists. Instead, he costs a bundle of tax dollars in prison and now he's whining about being on some sort of welfare for the rest of his life. He should be grateful to be alive!

Let me get this straight, you think that he should have been executed for a crime that he didn't commit?
FT, shutting off his computer and going to find some adults to talk to.

If he had been executed, his death could serve as a deterrent for other would-be rapists. And what if later he would have been found not guilty by a DNA test?
Furthermore, what if you would have been on a jury that had sentenced him to death and later found out he was not guilty?
