Recently on the anniversary of Bali there was a TV special with interviews with survivors and family members of people killed. Some were for the death penalty for those responsible, but many were not, saying that as it would not bring their children/spouses/parents back, they would prefer them to rot in jail for the rest of their lives. Being against the death penalty isn't just a matter of not understanding what it's like to have a family member murdered.
