Every state with a Republican controlled legislature should be passing such laws. If there is one criminal act that deserves the death penalty, raping a child is it.

The child should be allowed to push the button.

And let’s carry out the sentence immediately in the public square without waiting for decades to execute the pervert, and don’t bother giving them a last meal request!

It is been my understanding that the reason there has been no death penalty for such crimes was the logic that if the penalty for getting caught was death, then there would be no incentive to leave any witness to the crime alive. Not sure I completely agree with that.

Yes,child rape is surely something that could be argued deserves the DP. However,there's the question of proportionality...that is,with the DP for rape you give the rapist the incentive to kill his victim.

His unit should be removed by wild dogs first.

He should get life in prison in the general population. Perp will be killed by other inmates before the state gets around to executing him.

From the article:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill in May that authorized the death penalty for child rapists. “We think that in the worst of the worst cases, the only appropriate punishment is the ultimate punishment,” DeSantis said at the time.
“And so this bill sets up a procedure to be able to challenge that precedent to be able to say that in Florida, we think that the worst of the worst crimes deserve the worst of the worst punishment and I think that that’s the only thing that’s appropriate.”
REEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
It's a bad law!!! The hated deep-state stooge desanctiblahblah signed it!!! We MUST allow child-rapists to live ...

Actually rape of any kind was a capital offense in many states but the USSC ruled in the 1970s that the penalty “excessive”.

How often do women rape kids?
To: Jim Noble
Yeah, the Supreme Court ruled against it. Not sure how it has that authority. Like 90% of 20th century executions for rape were black criminal, white victim, which is maybe partly why the USSC got involved.

Louisiana had a similar law - the Supreme Court threw it out a few years ago.

The decision was very superficial with regards to “harm to the victim” being insufficient to deserve death.
Maybe that’s true in some cases.
But there are other cases where a painless death is grossly inadequate.
