I'm pro death penalty, but never mandatory, and only under federal jurisdiction. As well, I am annoyed that so much thought it put into the method. These elaborate methods have created a lot of sickos. I'd rather the DP be administered just by single gunshot. Hard to have hanging over your head, but easy in the end.
