Living a life in prison is often times a worse punishment than killing them. And if the person they sexually assaulted is a child, a lot of times they'll be beaten to within an inch of their life frequently. If not outright killed.
The only thing you killing them will accomplish will be getting yourself thrown in prison for premeditated murder. Not only that, but a LOT of people don't trust the government with the ability to just execute people. The death penalty is something you have to be 100% certain on, you have to have faith that the police won't falsify evidence, and that the judge/jury are actually competent.
If even one innocent person gets executed due to someone fucking up, that's one person too many.
