I'm not a Christian, and for me, hypothetically, vengeance is reason enough. I'm a fan of the concept, and would gladly pay a little more in taxes to see people like this die. No need for it to be painless either, in fact I would prefer it if the execution was really excruciating. Scaphism or something.
I oppose the death penalty because the legal system is dildoes and I'm sure they get it wrong all the time, but an argument like yours tends to make me more, not less supportive of the idea. It's for vengeance, yes, and there are situations where vengeance is very good and appropriate, where human nature demands it.

I'm not sure what kind of experience the convicted person will have in prison but if it's rough and unpleasant, I might prefer that he spend the rest of his life knowing that he'll never be free. But it's hard to say how I'd feel if one of the victims were actually my family. Maybe I'd just want the murderer to no longer exist.

Yep. This guy is a child murderer. He isn't going to have another good day in his life. I want him to endure it until he's ninety. And then die.

What got me the most is how he feigned sadness after the autopsy descriptions of one of the boys. Blatantly obvious he's putting on a show. Especially with his sarcasm and antics the entire rest of the time. Can't wait to see his shocked Pikachu face when he gets life.

Especially when the criminal is 100% on camera guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt
