'But I am a monster. I am the "Son of Sam". I am a little brat. When father Sam gets drunk he gets mean.... Sam loves to drink blood. "Go out and kill," commands father Sam.'
- David Berkowitz

The 6' 9" Ed Kemper, who captured unfortunate hitchhikers before he raped, murdered, and dismembered them.

Historically, the death penal­ty was wide­ly used for rape, par­tic­u­lar­ly against black defen­dants with white vic­tims. When the death penal­ty was rein­stat­ed in 1976, the Supreme Court left open the pos­si­bil­i­ty of impos­ing the death penal­ty for offens­es oth­er than mur­der, such as rape or even armed rob­bery. However, the Court soon ruled that the death penal­ty would be uncon­sti­tu­tion­al for the rape of an adult where no death had occurred. That ban was lat­er extend­ed to any non-homi­ci­dal rape by the U.S. Supreme Court deci­sion
