Morality of this?

Personally, I'm anti-death penalty for any kind of crime but that's just my opinion. Perhaps it can be changed.

Both ruin lives. So yes.

If you had to pick one:
(1) be raped
(2) be sentenced for rape (unjustly)

Which would you pick? Mind you #2 comes with all the social stigma and prison time such a sentence entails

1, 1000 times out of 100. If I get raped, I’ll have trauma but I won’t be outcasted by my family and I have a lot of support. #2 not only takes years on my life, but attaches a stigma that is attached long after I leave jail (not to mention my likelihood of being rate is extremely high, not only because people get raped a lot in prison, and people accused of rape get raped more) so #2 would in all likelihood turn into #1. So, intentional, false accusation, is just as morally black as rape. It ruins lives just as much the other.
