I would only use the death penalty where we’re close to certain X actually committed the crime. That’s fairly common for shoplifting and murder, but unfortunately far less common in rape (unless it’s e.g. on a street with CCTV cameras). I guess for probable rape I probably wouldn’t impose the death penalty and hope that they’ll get caught for a violent crimes later.
Just notice that systems are not stable, even if you got to decide all policy in a given point in time, policy will naturally warp and people will abuse it.
If killing people, quickly etc was normal, I assume regimes would use this to stop people from unseating them. (Trump may have been killed, see the attempts to paint him as a rapist)
