I agree sheriff for me there's only one acceptable reason to kill another human, and that's to protect someone else from being harmed by them. Like if someone walked in on her trying to harm a baby and the only way to stop her was to shoot her, by all means, shoot her.
But to do it as punishment? I just don't understand, really. Like I said, a dead person isn't upset that they're dead... they're just dead. If anything the only people further punished by executing her would be her own parents... and despite LT's insistence otherwise, I just don't think it offers any real benefit to the families of the victims to make it worth it.
And again I would add the caveat that it should never be done on trials by evidence/jury because the verdict IS sometimes wrong. As before that's not me passing comment on this particular case, just pointing out that it does happen, and there are examples of people being executed and then further evidence casting doubt that they were guilty, and a few rare examples of it being outright proven that they were NOT guilty, both in the US and here in the UK when we still had capital punishment.
