You are correct.
But they have never witnessed a REAL execution either.
I think making executions public would be worth it, even if it only deterred maybe 1 out of 100 "potential" murderers. That would mean one more innocent person would NOT be murdered. What is one life worth? What if it was YOUR loved one, or YOU, that was spared?
Regardless of whether it has any deterrent value or not, I support it on principle alone.
