More of the bleeding obvious from a specialist there-in ... by executing a murderer, you double (on average) the amount of bereaved/traumatised innocents. Each execution produces as many such victims as each murder does. Only the newly produced class of victims not only gets its victimhood erased a priori, it cops an implicit condemnation-by-association to go with it.
For mine, this is one of the least stressed of issues related to CP, and I reckon it's very close to the very biggest.
