Personally, I don't think that he should be given the death sentence. Yes, I think he should get what he has coming to him for all of the pain and suffering that he chose to cause. But, I can think of a more suitable punishment for him.
I think that he should be put in a room, and fastened to a chair if need be. Then, I think every member of every family that he affected by his actions should be allowed to go in and talk to him. Let them rant and rave, and yell and scream, and cry, and do whatever else they want (without being allowed to touch him, so that the rest can have a chance to talk to him).
Then, when they have all been through, and said what they need to say, I think he should be put away for life, but not killed. That's getting off the easy way. He should be made to watch the video of what everyone said to him over and over again. Every day. Make him suffer as much as he has made the families of the victims suffer. Keep him under constant watch, so that he doens't have a chance to kill himself.
But, that is just my humble opinion....
