Ask the victim which they'd prefer. I'd imagine they'd rather be alive even at the cost of the perpetrator receiving a lighter sentence.

I agree with you (given absolute 100% proof of guilt). However, my point was that if the penalty for rape is the death penalty then it would encourage a rapist/paedo/whatever to go that step further as they have NOTHING to lose by doing it.
Penalty for murder = death penalty
Penalty for rape = death penalty
Having done the rape where's the disincentive to going on to murder?
Actually rather than there being a disencentive, there is now an incentive to go on to kill as its much harder to get a conviction where the victim can't give evidence.
