Well, showing death as a spectale can affect people thaz true but maybe not in the way you'd like.

Borvik is right there. Will that prevent anything ? Hell no. Will that make a mass murderer think twice before killing ? No because it's a mass murderer and he is somehow brain-diseased.

Most of the times when someone murders someone else, I don't think the consequences of the act come right in mind. They come after.

Death sentence has never been and will never be a preventive way.

And those who apply them or are all for it are somewhere (just my opinion) murderers too.

A life is a life. And when someone takes one away on purpose, he always have a good reason in his mind.

There must be another way.

Oh and btw, don't be wrong, an execution nowadays cost a hell lot of money. We are not in the middle age where an axe, a hole and 5 gold piece to the executionner was enough.

And it's never swift and quick. Usually take few years of procedure.

Now if you really want to go back to the middle age...
