This is not to say that you should execute someone in the face of immense doubt just to placate a family, but I'm just saying that that's where they might be coming from.

No, I get that. It's hard to feel that the evil guilty person who stole your son/brother/etc. from you is "getting off" scot free. (Look at random people with Casey Anthony.....).

I just don't ever think another death justifies, rectifies, or amends the first. I don't think it can really soothe the heartache of having a loved one stolen from you.
