So the specific disease line of thinking applies here.

To whom are they "monsters?" (Yeah, okay, don't answer that, its rhetorical). You've pronounced your judgement, based on your moral convictions. Upon whose moral convictions does the law reside? I don't have an answer to that, but I find a definition similar to that used by the Supreme Court to identify pornography (I'll know it when I see it) to be insufficient in determining who deserves death.
I started out in the mood to get into a line drawing discussion but I couldn't stick carry it out. Simply put, my problem is who would do the line drawing about what offenses deserve death. Yeah, sure, a jury of my peers. I wouldn't trust em as far as they could throw me.
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....
