Yup, and there’s no indication that execution does anything as a deterrent (which logically makes sense if you stop to think about it for a second; crimes are nearly always committed either without thinking of the consequences or with an expectation that they’ll get away with it, particularly at the level you have to reach to even be considering execution).

At the end of the day it’s a revenge thing. And I get it, fuck this guy. But revenge isn’t good enough if even one innocent person has been executed. It’s not “execute or let them wander the streets”, it’s “execution or they’re locked up the rest of their lives”.
