castle you really are something else. Why does the family of a murder victim even get to make that choice? If I got offed, fuck what my momma and poppa think, that prick better be going to the clink.
why would it matter to you? You are dead
(unless you specify in your will to never forgive your killer if you end up getting killed)
I think the family should be given the option to decide whether to forgive the killer or not. They are the ones closest to you (or at least should be) and they are the ones that are current alive and suffering the
most from your death.
Also, I think the families should be given the option of deciding whether the killer should be offed the same way he killed the victim, if they decide that they don't want to forgive them. (especially in the cases of serial killers, and NOT cases like accidental death). Lethal injection is such a pussified way to get rid of a murderer. Why should the serial killers die in humane ways when they themselves did not have any mercy on their victims. Kill these guys the same way they killed their victims. An eye for an eye!! Give them a taste of their own medicine.
