I genuinely wonder what goes in the mind of a judge who says underage girls who resort to killing their abusers should deserve long-ass jailtimes. What else do they think they should’ve done, keep being abused by them? or possess the fine ability to only impair someone’s physical power without really killing them? and why is hard to make a law that makes it okay to execute rapists?

It depends on the circumstances of the killing, if it were during the act of abuse and the person had a reasonable fear for their life, then self defense is justified. Being a victim of abuse and then deciding to shoot them in their sleep (for example) is not self defense, it is extra-judicial homicide, especially if an option would be to get help, call police, etc. Basically Justice is to be left to the Courts.
As for Capital punishment for rapists, I guess that comes down to your view on Capital Punishment in general. Most of the World, and most States, feel that is not justified for any crime, even Murder.
