I broadly support Grey Templars comments.

Convicted death row inmates don't deserve much 'dignity', however this must be clarified. They should be treated humanely, not abused, and if executed that should be done efficiently and with a minimum of pain caused. - Which frankly goes against practically everything in the US capital punishment system.

However the system is not obliged to have any respect for the convicted. Especially respect as a lot of criminal community understand the word. They haven't earned respect, they have earned polite contempt.

in light of revelations about sloppy work and outright tampering at the FBI lab, a lab here, and other shenanigans I cannot support the death penalty on a pragmatic basis. I will note, the consitutionality of death by forced viewing of The View has been ruled Cruel and Unusual punishment.

Nah, it would be cheaper to just shoot them without giving them the chance to prove themselves innocent.

Who cares if we kill the wrong person. Saved that cash!
