You'd said you 'hope to not have fury shape your decisions' and that, to me, suggested that, perhaps, part of your opposition to the death sentence is that you may feel that fury or emotion ARE a part or to big a part of the decision making process in actual cases.
I simply make the case that a lot of time passes before trials start, let alone sentencing and especially actual execution of sentence.
Time heels many wounds but knowing that your loved ones murderer is still breathing, still seeing friends and family, still reading, writing, thinking, still alive while your innocent one is still dead strikes me as a hurt that will not stop, a continuance of the crime if you will.
I hope I didn't imply that pro-capital-punishment people were letting fury guide their decisions.
