    A death sentence just punishes the relatives of that person. The person killed, isn’t really punished, since you kinda don’t feel after you died and no punishment without feeling I suppose.

      What if the families of the departed actively push for it?

        Then, they should get mental treatment paid by convicted person, in my opinion. I bet that knowing that the convicted person got killed for it, doesn’t make the pain go away. There are other strategies needed to make a relatively normal live possible for the suffering persons.

          I’ll never understand that perspective but thanks for trying to explain it.

        What is the usefulness of punishment? Genuinely, what value does it have to society?
