Executing rapists just gives them an incentive to kill the victim. In this case, he already did kill the victim, so yes, he should be executed.

I am unsure what to do about the mother. The law of exact retaliation would suggest that she also be sold to a murdering rapist.

That's a good point, and I know there's an argument against the death penalty as a deterrent, but I've always felt that at the very least, and if the death penalty didn't take decades, it would stop that person from raping/murdering. And why would we waste time on a person who would rape a 3 year old? There is no amount of redemption they could attain for that, imo. Same with school shooters and anyone else who crosses the line and it's clearly evident they perpetrated said heinous crime. Don't give a fuck about their childhood or how poopy they felt or any manifesto. Disposal. Take the dipshit who shot up Parkland. Still alive and causing issues even in his own fucking trial. Why waste the time? We know he did it. What possible value is he alive?

I'm sure this guy will get death, though I doubt it will be via execution.
