I don't support the death penalty under any circumstances, even a theoretical case in which guilt is 100% certain.
I can see the logic behind not having the death penalty for child rape, but quite frankly it's based on incorrect assumptions about the effect of the death penalty. The death penalty has been demonstrated through study after study to not be effective as a deterrent. In other words, assuming one who might want to kill the child to avoid the death penalty, while intuitive, may be incorrect.
