I agree Koan. Revenge is degrading to humanity and undermines any virtuous qualities a justice system may offer. It should never be a factor in determining the resolution of crime. The answer to all justice questions should be founded upon sound philosophical reasoning. When an injustice has occurred we should be seeking resolution which fair and is able to reconcile members of society with the nature of the event. In the majority of cases, where the evidence is fully flushed out, such a resolute determination can be accomplished. Heinous crimes, however, leave us in a quandary because there is no systemic resolution available in the judicial system that meets our criteria. What then, life? Lifers have been known to continue heinous conduct even while incarcerated, or to establish some alternative form of unwholesome deviancy within the culture of incarceration. Life is after all another form of death penalty, as we determine the circumstances and manner of death. In some cases, individuals experience it as a life time of torture until death. I would, since I have claustrophobic issues when confined in a tight place. It is easy to say life is a more humane solution but that is only because we don’t have to deal with the person as a member. Forgiveness and mercy is a resolute determination that is so entangled with the personal elements of heinous crime that no management of the perpetrator of a heinous crime can satisfy these issues. Therefore, it is no more just to say the death penalty lacks mercy and forgiveness than it is to say that withholding death as a consequence is merciful and forgiving. There is no reason I can think of as to why you think revenge is the foundation upon which a death penalty must be determined. I don't think of the death penalty as anything but resolute, while allowing society to move on with the confidence that such level of crime (heinous) will not be tolerated.
