i don't think that's a good viewpoint. i am of the opinion that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, and if a person commited murder ( and i by no means equate murder with rape, which to me is a far lesser crime, serious yes, but not to be put in the same basket as murder ) in the heat of passion, he should have the posibility to repent and after having served his debt to society, to go free and try to live a normal life....studies have shown that very few people recommit murder after having served their full sentance.....
