if the kid is 11 and 364 days, you die. 12 years old though, you just go to jail. the damage done isn't nearly as severe after that 12th birthday.

what if a 13 year old rapes an 11 year old? death sentence?

Constitutional challenges immediately followed the first of those two sentences, and the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule by June whether death is cruel and unusual punishment for felons who have not taken a life.

It'll be interesting to see how the court's literalists tackle this issue.
