The murderer kills; the rapist, if no more than that, does not. Life is over for the victim of the murderer; for the rape victim, life may not be nearly so happy as it was, but it is not over and normally is not beyond repair. We have the abiding conviction that the death penalty, which 'is unique in its severity and irrevocability'...is an excessive penalty for the rapist who, as such, does not take human life." -Furman v. Georgia, 1972 Supreme Court Ruling Holy. Shit. I could never be a judge.</p>
