Dg I didn't actually say I agree with it. I said the only point in it was for vengeance. I said it doesn;t work as a deterrent and I am not satisfied that the legal system is sufficient to ensure that the wrong person doesn't occasionally get the chop.

That said I can't say I would have big problem with pulling the switch/trigger/lever for someone who had been convicted with a reasonable (to my mind) degree of certainty.

I remorseless killer doesn't really deserve life in a cushy prison learning to be a lawyer or reading books.
