    It almost seems that his actions haunt him, but the way he communicates and brushes it off is how he lives with himself. I think he makes it seem as if he's really confident in his actions, and he blames his actions on the murderers. They didn't force his hand like he says, he chose to accept that job. I hope he works out his inner demons, he makes himself seem like a cold person but he's not.

      Right? Imagine interviewing both the executioner and the exonorated lady at the same time. One, being the hands of the system. The other, being the victim of the system. One could have easily killed the other without knowing she was innocent. And that lady, in an interview with the two of them, would have gotten the chance to look at death in the eye and show him that there ARE innocent people that get killed by the death penalty system.

    This was really powerful. This made me realize that the people who reinforce the death penalty are practically murders too. It is hard to think and accept that the world is not all sunshine and rainbows. I personally think the death penalty is wrong because it is still taking someone’s life even if they did something wrong. I support prison for life if you do something that awful. Going back to my first point, even if you execute an awful person than it is still killing someone. Let them stick around to suffer. Death is the easy way out.
