To those who advocate having a death penalty, I repeat hoping for a response.
Let me put it this way. Imagine a man close to you, husband, father, son or brother, is a child sex offender. He is convicted of raping a child. At sentencing, the state asks for the death penalty based upon the testimony of a psychologist that he is a "compulsive offender and is 45% likely to re-offend."
Would you then think the death penalty is proper? If so, please explain why the 55% likelihood of not re-offending isn't persuasive to avoid the death penalty?
Remember, 80% of child molestations are at the hands of a close family member.
