I think the right decision was made. While I'm no fan of the death penalty, rape of someone that young (the law says under 12, i say it should be more like under 14) is worse than murder and should carry a death penalty. Like another guy said, inmates are usually there because they committed a specific crime to hurt a specific person. These inmates tend to give criminals like this a hard time, and sometimes kill them. Like another guy said, the child-molesting priest was killing by an inmate. I also remember a few years back that a cannibal was killed by inmates. Might as well make it a quicker and less painful death by needle.
