Will executing him help that process? I don't know. I've seen enough post-execution interviews with surviving families to make me question if it's does help or not. Some say they feel justice is finally served, some say that they thought they'd feel that way but simply don't.

Public safety is ensured if this man never walks free.

Justice however, is a much harder to define thing... some cultures advocate an eye for an eye, some advocate forgiveness....

*shrug*

Too lofty a thought for me at this time of day.
