Many people who answered my previous question are American, I believe?
Can rapists/serial rapists in America receive the death penalty?
Thank you for answering.

They'll be sentenced to prison for life. That is possible. However the courts tend to hand out sentences of 30 or 40 years. With no parole it is for the most part a death sentence.
Rape and murder will open the door for a death penalty. As to whether you are executed or spend life without parole is up to the jury in the penalty phase of the hearing.

yes, depending on what state it occurred....some states did away with the death penalty but most pedaphiles in prison end up murdered by there own inmates, even the convicts find it sick.....

No, because the liberals would rather see them receive a lifetime of free everything than be punished for what they do.

If you're a female teacher and repeatedly rape minors in America, you just get probation.

No, not unless murder was involved.
