However if you are a loved one of victim of a murderer, having that perpetrator die often brings closure. That in my opinion is a valid for reason for Capitial Punishment for offenses such as murder.
What about being a loved one of wrongly convicted and seeing them be executed?
Are you really in favor of killing people so other people can feel better? Why can't the offender serving life in prison bring closure to the victim's loved ones?
I mean, come on. Penalty or punishment in the name doesn't change the fact that it's still fucking killing people.
