I support the death penalty for certain instances of rape without death, but never mandatory except maybe upon a second conviction (and obviously as an aggravation of murder).

Both of these replies actually state that there are different degrees of rape. But don't necessarily agree where to draw the line....
Mine certainly does. I think there are different degrees to most crimes, which is why you have a gamut of charges, in order to have an appropriate selection for the appropriate crime.
I'm not really big on nail-hunting. We have more than just a hammer, and we should use the right tool for the job.
