I am less concerned about a murderer's ultimate fate that what his execution does to us as participants. Execution does nothing to heal families of victims and nothing to improve our society. How we deal with criminals is a reflection on ourselves. Justice should be just.

Good sentiments. I recognize societies right to take a life, but advocate that we don't because we are bad at it, especially at the state level. I'd rather separate the person from society and keep them alive so if we did screw up, we can fess up and let then have what life reamins to them back. To me, giving that innocent person the chance at a remainder of life is worth not executing anyone.
