To me there are two different groups of rapists:

Group 1 is the ones that just rape random strangers, they probably deserve the death penalty but they are also the same group that might just start raping and then killing their victims if you had the death penalty for rapists.

Group 2 is the the ones that rape girls they are already engaged in relations with. These are the Kobe Bryant/Mike Tyson/Ben Roethlisberger's that have a tough time understanding that when a woman comes to their room (or goes into a stall with them) they still have the right to say no. These sort of rapists would never kill their victims cause they don't often think what they are doing is wrong. But while this group should be punished I do not believe that they deserve the death penalty. Accidental statutory rapists like Lawrence Taylor would fall into this category too.
