    Personal views aside, I don't think that law would last; the state's courts (and up to the US Supreme Court) should and would strike it down. Coker v. Georgia (1977) held that the death penalty cannot be imposed for any crime other than murder. That particular case offered the death penalty as punishment for rape, and that was found to be Unconstitutional.

    /just my two cents. :)
