If someone can be murdered by the state for raping a child, then the next step is captial punishment for the raping of an adult. Pretty soon you're chopping off thieves hands, hanging people who assualt women and taking a bamboo cane to people who spray paint freeway overpasses.
You have to set limits with something as grave as capital punishment. In every western society I can think of, that limit is murder.

having lived in Singapore and been to other countries where laws and consequences are much stricter... i'm with sixate, if they don't play by the rules, why should rules be set for them?
