Ah, it says they're only convisting pedophiles this way. That's good because I'd have a problem with them doing this with all molesters.
The reason I would have a problem with convicting all molesters is this. Some adults who consented to sex sometimes claim it was rape later for whatever reason. I have seen it happen and perfectly law abiding people (usually men) go to jail because their partner had it in for them. If we started giving them the death penalty that would suck! Here's to only having sex with partners you are steady with! Pedos, on the other hand, have no such excuses. Send them to the chair!

The death penalty for anything but murder is a bad idea, you're basically removing the penalty for an even more heinous crime. If I just finished molesting a kid, why would I leave her alive if killing her wouldn't affect my potential punishment at all?

Given today's stance on children and sex, I wonder if a "feel good" movie like "Big" with Tom Hanks could ever be produced in 2007. In this movie, the leading lady (unknowingly) committed statutory rape with a child (Tom) who was portrayed as being only 12 years old. It was a cute movie. But did Elizabeth Perkins deserve 25 years in jail? That could be the plot for Big2. "But judge, I swear Josh looked much older than 12 at the time of the incident!"

1. The law shouldn't consider what the 10 Commandments have to say about anything
2. The Bible/Torah actually says "לא תרצח" which, in English, is closer to "Thou shalt not murder" than it is to "Thou shalt no kill." |

That is heinous in my opinion - stripping away life in a most inhumane way. I'm with Isaac - tall tree & a short rope. Perhaps a few years at the bottom of that food chain first. Why not take a strong stand against child molestation and be proactive for the sake of children verses waiting for repeated incidents and be reactive while children still suffer? Always for the children!!

Child molesters should be hung by their balls till they die a natural death.
