Reply #19: I'm not only against the death penalty

[China_cat]

on principle but here in SC we have learned that the death penalty for rape (which often included that against children) that didn't lead to murder rarely led to conviction (unless the accused was black and the victim white). Juries were loathe to send someone to death for rape so rapists walked.

When we finally got the laws changed, degrees of rape and molestation written in, we finally started getting some of the animals off the streets and behind bars where they belonged.

Oklahoma is going to find they end up with more problems than they have now.
