When one is executed, the observers are unable to see the person's face if executed by gas or electrocution (it's a legal thing, I think)
When one is executed by lethal injection, all one would see is expiration of breath from lungs. Which makes the whole thing less glamorous than Hollywood makes it. It's as if you had to kill vermin, like a mouse, in your house. Boring.
So, I don't have the need to see a criminal's execution for my own satisfaction and closure to whatever capital crime was done to one I loved. I don't know what I would do if some wacko murdered a person I cared for deeply, but I would try to find satisfaction that the Legal system worked in my case and the punishment fits the crime. Because, really, prison ain't no picnic...
