RHETORICAL QUESTION, SO DON'T GO INTO GRAPHIC DETAIL

Tex, what level of sexual contact is necessary to warrant a death sentence? Even if perchance this specific instance is sufficient, where is the line drawn on from the inappropriate touching of clothed children to the violent assault in this case?

I think limiting capital punishment to homicides may be the appropriate stance to take.
