I don't support the death penalty in cases where the victim is not physically murdered. The only exception to that should be Treason, but limited only as specifically defined by Article 3 section 3 of the US constitution, and only during a formally declared war. Life without parole is IMO the apropriate penalty for rape. He should have to do hard labor for the rest of his life but he should not be executed, since his victim was not killed.
