Naturally they won't erase what happened, but some people simply aren't fit to live. This creature is one of them.

You have no right to say who should and should not live. That is not your place.
This man deserves to live as much as the next, even if he is a 'horrible' person. He is still a human, an imperfect one at that just like the rest of us, and made some serious mistakes.

Will killing him repair the physical or mental damage done to this woman?
No.
Lock him up, and dissolve the key. Keep him out of society for good.
If you want to clench your hands and wail about your tax dollars feeding him... Well, your tax dollars would be going into holding him and feeding him through all the appeals and retrials that are common to death row, and then all the extra paperwork and costs of executing him, the expenses of handling his remains, etc.
Giving him a 9x12x12 room and a plate of oatmeal for the rest of his life is just cheaper than getting your vicarious revenge.

That is exactly what needs to change. You and others who would blindly accept that as your fate are crazy!! We do not have to house and feed anyone for twenty to forty years of appeals!
All we need to do is put a cap of 12 months on the death penalty and hire the lawyers and judges to hear the cases in that alloted time frame.
It is much cheaper to deal with the problem NOW instead of thirty years down the line.
Get these bums their appeals, then kill them and send a message to other bums like them.
People who are soft on criminals condemn the rest of us to lives of uncertainty and fear because of their failure to deal rationally with a problem and reason it through to a logical conclusion.
