These two news articles show why I support the death penalty:
On the second one, while I'm pleased to see his sentence doubled, it's still too low, 9-12 years for rape and attempted murder? What is the matter with our court system? This guy shouldn't be back on the streets for at least 20 or 30 years, even better he should be dead. It's entirely possible that he'll go after her once he gets out in around ten years, but I'm sure that's a minor concern when compared with a rapist's right to "freedom and liberty".
I'm glad to see the punishment for the one from America though, he was sentenced to death. It will probably take them a couple of years to kill if they even manage too, but it's better than what the Aussie courts did.
