I don't think he can be sentenced to death for kidnapping and rape, I am not certain, but I thought that the death penalty can only be used for murder

If that's true,I hope the law is soon changed. Kidnappers are the scum of the Earth,and put the parents of the children they steal through a living hell. It is a ultimate crime.

Unfortunately the Supreme Court held in Coker v. Georgia (1977) that the death penalty for rape violated the Eighth Amendment (cruel and punishment). I think that kidnapping is covered under the ruling.

I would like to see the death penalty in this case..
