Would be shooters might think twice if they actually had to face the chair, knowing their head could catch on fire.
I am against capital punishment in 99.9999% of the cases. Some cases call for it, though, and this is one of them.
-- We know who did it. There is no question.
-- We know exactly what he did. The crime was heinous and notorious.
-- We need to deter others from doing the same thing. Not punishing sufficiently may not discourage others.
It is the perfect case for an exception to the no capital punishment rule.
This is a tough one for me.
