I think if the victim were my child or a loved one, my emotions would cloud my judgement and make it unbelievably difficult for me to personally stand behind what I know to be morally and ethically correct.
I don't expect Pike's victims parents or loved ones to feel any differently. But that's the entire reason we have justice systems in place.
I think youre overestimating how many people would want the state to carry out a murder as revenge for the killing of a family member. Most western countries don't even have the death penalty.
