I'd have to review that research myself to take it serious. In the mean time you haven't responded to the crux of the issue.

How is justice served in each of these two options according to the given criteria. "When an injustice has occurred we should be seeking resolution which is fair and is able to reconcile members of society with the nature of the event."

Then we can say with full confidence, "Justice has been served."

In the case of the heinous criminal, execution or life in prison are both death penalties of a sort. That is about all they have in common. Execution is death on an assigned date and life is death in prison on an unassigned date with a prison sentence added on. In the former, the criminal is stopped from committing further harm, the crime is resolved, and society can simply move on. In the latter the criminal continues committing harm, the judgement is irresolute, and society has no method to reconcile the event and move on. You seem to be arguing that point in your tone but I don't see an actual argument being presented.
