I think that it's only made easier to swallow. The people who see executions and the people who perform them generally regret having ever seen just the one.
The others, a thousand times yes. There are all sorts of ways that the process can go south, even further south, that is...but that does seem to lead right into the next bit.

Can't be done. The business of execution can't be done swiftly and justly. No amount of certainty internally held or even legally pronounced removes the states responsibility to provide due process.
Nope. Nothing to do with hiding it.
There are some things, as far as I'm concerned, that should not be for public view. Executions are one of them. Another us child birth.
A quick bullet to the back of the head seems fairly quick and efficient. We also quickly kill sick animals with a single injection. If it can be done for a dog, it can be done for a human.
But I'll repeat my stipulation: 100% certainty
Also, as I've stated, life in prison should mean life.
I had an acquaintance who was strangled to death by her boyfriend in the early 2000s.
He got "life" and is now free to get on with his life. She's rotting in the ground. Her life over.
Why should he be free?
