It'll be interesting to see if this legislation stands up to legal scrutiny. If I recall correctly, Georgia had a similar law struck down by the Supreme Court on the grounds it violated the 8th Amendment's provision against cruel and unusual punishment.

Why would a more severe punishment stop rape victims from coming forward…

I know, I am one goofy lmao. And huge part of the reason for that is narratives about “oh you’ll ruin his life, he has a bright future etc etc,” which a death penalty will also exacerbate. This retributive justice shit lets society pay itself on the back and feel good without actually doing anything to help victims. If people put the energy they do fantasizing about weird torture for hypothetical rapists into actually stopping and convicting real ones we would have made much more progress.

They aren’t a freak lmao this is a common phenomenon among victims even without the death penalty given that most rapes are committed by friends and family. This isn’t even a theoretical, there’s many victims who don’t report because they feel guilty about the idea of their dad or cousin or friend or whatever going to jail. It’s not victim blaming to point out how society guilts victims into not reporting and this would make it worse

im one too “goofy”, and part of the reason it took me so long to come forward was because i didn’t think the punishment would do me justice. you would think the possibility of losing your life would thwart someone from committing the crime. and if it doesn’t you get what’s coming to you

Putting them in jail for life does the same and doesn't force a child to decide if someone dies or not

It also means juries don’t convict at all because they don’t think someone deserves to die, wrongfully convicted people are murdered by the state, and crimes go unreported because victims don’t want to feel responsible for a death

I wonder why you keep putting the responsibility on the victim instead of the person who committed the crime. the victim puts no one to death, the perpetrator does it themselves. Get it through your head

If the child reports then death, if no report then no death. The child makes the decision for death. Sure the rapist puts themselves into that position but the final say or a life shoudl not be put onto a kid which this does.

So that’s your story and I’m sorry that happened to you, it’s a shit club to be in. It doesn’t disprove anything I’ve said though, all of which is common and documented. Not to sound harsh but it’s actually deeply in unempathetic of you towards fellow victims to completely dismiss the fact that many straight up don’t report because they feel guilty and don’t want blood on their hands. Your experience is not universal. Nor is what I’m saying actually that controversial ual.

It's not the death penalty that's expensive it's the courts and time holding them to death penalty. Wood chipper doesn't solve the problem that the costs associated to getting to that point is massive

i can promise you that rape victims spend infinitely more time trying to navigate their own world changing, a victim is never responsible for the punishment their perpetrator receives. they don’t decide what the punishment is. Next

They literally do decide what the punishment is. They either choose if their rapist lives (don't report) or die (report). Explain why this is not true.

Happy to educate you on how the justice system works. Victims don’t control sentencing. prosecutors decide whether to bring charges, judges or juries decide the outcome. Reporting a crime isn’t “choosing death,” it’s asking the legal system to investigate and act

Anonymous replying to -> OP 1w

And yes that entire process depends on if the crime is reported or not. Sure a kid isn't the one sentencing the person but nothing happens until the kid speaks up. Ultimately meaning the entire process in which a death occurs falls on if the kid speaks up.

Framing it like that basically tells victims to stay quiet or be responsible for what happens next. Which is wrong and actively discourages people from reporting serious crimes

not to trauma dump or anything, but I’m an actual CSA victim & i don’t feel that way. we all feel differently. and while it might make sense to be like “let the kid choose what happens” they are kids… and they would likely feel immense internal & external pressure. i know i would at that age. my parents, aunts & uncles, grandparents all have an opinion. it just sounds awful. better to lock them up for life, it’s cheaper anyway.
