Thank you for writing on this important issue. The death penalty is a bizarre tool used in few nations. Historically it was far more popular, but many countries have abandoned the practice. Without questioning its efficacy one can still think about the executions themselves. I fear that for many painful executions may be seen as a feature and not a bug despite what appear to be clear violations of constitutional rights. There are also all kinds of underlying assumptions behind each camp here.
