A legal system that kills a person is not better than the criminal. It's either right and legal to kill or it's not. If people have no right to kill others, people who represent the state have no right either. Killing is killing and not justice and nothing which just anyone is allowed to do.

If you (generally "you") sentence someone to death, you are directly responsible for destroying what has been developed by nature, what took (generally) nine months in the mother's womb, what has a conscious, feelings, a mind, wants to live, wants to survive, has parents/ siblings/ friends/children and you kill who is loved and will be missed by others. You take away from them what they need and you cause even more misery among even more people.

It doesn't matter if the victims want the death of a criminal because when the state kills a murderer, it only takes revenge on them on behalf of the victims. There is a reason why Europe has gotten rid of the death penalty and I find it disturbing that especially a family show obviously supports the death of the supposed or indeed "evil" ones as punishment.
