#2 Only the victim can forgive not the family. Since the victim is dead, there can be no forgiving.

#3 The truth is that the state can no longer bring itself to carry out the agreement that it as a disinterested third party will deliver justice. It took hundreds of years of governmental evolution to end vendetta as a culturally accepted practice. It's already losing that contract in certain inner cities as locals refuse to cooperate and 'justice' is handed out by those same locals. Like too many other behaviors, its going to spread from there.

#4 When can forgive, and still put down the rabid dog. There is zero chance they got the wrong guy. Put him down without delay was the correct response. Perhaps make it painful is the only thing they should have debated.

#6 2011 study found - "A death penalty prosecution costs up to 20 times as much as a life-without-parole case."

The luxury of massive over-litigious death penalty cases to soothe the sensitivities of Americans has become too expensive to sustain. Warehousing criminals in lieu of executing them is simply idiotic, certain kinds of criminal behavior void the membership in the human race, and like any rabid creature, require euthanasia.

Further, the soft cowardice of comfortable judgements has given us the 70% + recidivism of felons in the criminal justice system today. Three hots and a cot with eventual general population comforts in prison is a far better life than the miasma some of these specimens come from. As prison incarceration has become less and less of a deterrent, if even administered, the fear that tames behaviors of the savages diminishes and you get the resultant images we now see on the 5 o'clock news.
