If you torture, repeatedly rape and mutilate a child (or the equivalent), death should at least be able to be considered.
Then again, maybe a ban would deter someone from going farther and killing their victim.
This is reminding me of all kinds of bad things.
Yesterday, a homeless ex-con who raped, slit the eyelids of, Krazy Glued the mouth of, poured bleach on, damaged the kidneys of with pills and finally set fire to a grad student for 19 hours was found guilty. He'll be sentenced in a month.
The purpetrator's reaction to his fate has been widely reported:
"The judge said that Williams was told a verdict had been reached, he simply turned over in his courthouse cell and went back to sleep."
Apparently he's lost a lot of his joie de vivre since he stopped being able to violate and torture (other) human beings.

words can't describe. I wish the survivor a healthy, full recovery. what a nightmare.
I have mixed feelings about death penalty. In instances like this, I see no other option. Someone like this has no right to live.
is it wrong that i hoped that the victim died? i honestly cannot imagine trying to wade my way through the horror she endured and the inevitable side effects of mistrust, hypervigilance, nightmares, etc., back to a place even resembling normalcy.
that may be morbid, but i personally would not want to survive an ordeal like that.
