I've noted this before, but John Waters take on it is it all boils down to how it's marketed.
If capital punishment was presented like an Emmy or a Pulitzer, but for achievement in crime instead, we'd all have a different take on executions.
Having perps families arguing in the media who's scion is more badass and rotten would be an interesting bonus. Victim's families might be awarded royalty fees from media coverage and souvenir sales too.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
