I have no opinion either way on this; I doubt that someone who goes out of their way to rape someone will ever be able to be truly rehabilitated, although I don't believe death is a suitable punishment for what for some people is an alcohol fueled crime. If nothing will ever get a person rehabilitated, then I'm all for killing the bugger; it'll be cheaper in the long run.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
