I understand what you mean. but I disagree. As someone who misses someone very much,there is no punishment good enough, but it made me feel a tiny bit better when a jury decided that scumbag deserved the worst punishment we can dole out. I would have been ok if he got life, but something about knowing that he didn't fool any of them, and got death, gets to sit and rot in a cell all alone for 23 hrs a day til he gets his easy death makes me feel better for a second every now and then. And my feeling better for even a second is worth more than his whole sorry stupid life, imo.
That is just twisted logic. Your whole pint is basically "The person who killed my loved one should recieve the death penalty because it will make me feel better." That makes you just as much a killer as he was. And i would like to point out that reform is always possible. Yes, some people are just psychopaths and will always wanna kill someone just for fun but some people have resolvable issues. People also get to think about their lives while in prison and turn them around. Just look at immortal technique. He used his time in prison to study history and came out a diferent person. Sure many of his views are wrong but now he's a god person. Also look into some movies such as a clockwork orange and the woodsman to see a bit deeper into the nature of reform. You can also read the book version of a clockwork orange but its a little different.
