If you don't think this is possible, just look at the thread where a mob killed an innocent passenger of a car that accidentally hit someone.

And isn't there compelling evidence that capital punishment is not a deterrent to homicide? Why would this sex crime be any different.
Electricity, lethal injection, rats chewing on testicles... they all sound pretty bad to me. What is the homicide rate like in Texas these days?
Try here for starters.
