8. You are going to be even more appalled
when juries start turning them free because they're reluctant to impose the death penalty.

We HAD the death penalty for rape of all kinds. And got very few convictions. (Usually only convictions we got were when the perp was black and the victim white and please don't act surprised about that fact.) We only started taking rapists off the streets when the DP came off the table and degrees rape/molestation were instituted.

I'd go for a lifetime of electronic monitoring AFTER the first conviction, but even for kids, I think you'll find that the results of this law will backfire.
