"Give him a break, he's just doing his job" doesn't fly when the job involves doing things that are WRONG. Not for cops, soldiers, jailers, corporate middle managers, or hangmen.
Choose to be an executioner? F--k you. Hope you have nightmares every f--king night of the rest of your life. Maybe you'll actually do some good when you come out against the death penalty, as a lot of former executioners did.

Uh.... Did I say I was in favor of the death penalty?
I have never know a Criminal that was scared of the death penalty. It was an abstract thing that others were involved in and not them. Besides, they were too smart to get caught since they were just soooooo good at what they did.
If you want to know how I feel about the death penalty then read up on the Dallas County, Texas, DA Henry Wade. He could get a death penalty sentence for anyone with no evidence of any type and he did a number of times. There is a reason Texas leads the nation in 'discovering' guilty men on death row and releasing them and that reason is that Henry Wade was only interested in racking up convictions.
There is no doubt that Wade sent innocent people to Death Row. But to Wade it was all about the next election, and convictions were what the people were voting for.
