So this forum thinks that the original crime should be a capital offense?
The law changed for example in Georgia based on this reasoning:
The 1977 Supreme Court case of Coker v. Georgia held that the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution forbade the death penalty for the crime of rape of an adult woman. The court held that "Life is over for the victim of the murderer; for the rape victim, life may not be nearly so happy as it was, but it is not over, and normally is not beyond repair".[87]
Another reason given for why rape has been made not a capital offense is that it incentivizes criminals to not take the life of the victim
A final reason suggested is that false accusations could cost men lives
So do you think rape should be a capital offense?
There are problems with vigilante justice as well in this incident
