Another argument for the death penalty to be used more often.

This is from a web page that I found. http://justice.uaa.alaska.edu/death/history.html

In 1977, the Supreme Court declared in Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584 (1977) that applying the death penalty in rape cases was unconstitutional because the sentence was disproportionate to the crime. Coker resulted in the removal of twenty inmates -- three whites and 17 blacks -- awaiting execution on rape convictions from death rows around the country.

At one time, the death penalty was given for crimes of rape.

ya, but wanted to point out that rape may not be a capital crime any more, murder is... Not sure about the status of that state though... There is no capital punishment here in michigan unless somebody was charged on the fed level.
