Death Penalty for something other than Murder?

I believe that kidnapping, treason, and espionage also have the death penalty, or they used to.

I'm all for it in cases of extreme child abuse and child molestation too.

I agree. I am also for it in cases where there is extreme torture of the victim but the victim ends up surviving.

Example.. Dave Pelzer (The man who wrote the autobiography, A Child Called It). In a case that extreme, the mother should have been given the death penalty, in my opinion.

I thought I'd bump this thread because Ariel Castro is about as good an example as I can come up with.
