Which is Worst: Murder or Rape?

12yr old accused of Murdering Mother & Brother. 14yr old accused of sexually assaulting four women. Only the 14yr old is charged as an adult.

Both crimes occured in Prince Georges County on the eastern Border of DC. High crime rate.

Not sure what to make of this. Are they assuming the 12yr old is mentally messed up?

Or is 12 significantly different from 14?

okay...I think every woman will have mature issues for a long time after a rape, but I think most of them will get over it after a while [even though it may could take years]

I doubt that they will get over it after they get killed.

so yeah...I think murder is worse imo

Total BS...This guy needs to be put to death slowly. Maybe he will get what he deserves in prison.

So much for the victims anymore. I guess they all deserve it.

Don't worry too much Wounded Knee, those kind of people get well taken care of in prison. I'm betting he's going to wish he got the death penalty.

it's cases like this that really shake my belief that capital punishment is fundamentally wrong. two wrongs don't make anything right for anyone, but in this case i am betting a margin of revenge would probably be pretty gratifying and feel a lot like justice.

the original execution order or the supreme court ruling?

i agree with the supreme court ruling.

I agree with the ruling but I'm apossed as to how they arrived at the ruling claiming an 'evolving sence of morality' as well as basing it on international president (sp?) and american opinion.

Both presidential candidates disagree with the court's ruling:

Nice - so people who would like to see child rapists get the death penalty so they won't reoffend are now "angry". I suppose they're "bitter", too, and apt to cling to guns and religion.

What a particularly ugly elitist sentiment, one that speaks poorly of your character.
