I also see it as a sign of respect for the process and the gravity of the situation.
We are injecting you with death, but we are going to respect your life for as long as possible.
While acknowledging that we need to use the death penalty, I feel it is a failure of society that we need to use it. We should be trying to figure out ways to not need to kill people. Just putting them into prison for life is not an acceptable solution. We can do better. Corporal punishment is about deterrence and justice, but what if we can prevent the crimes in other ways. Ways like better social programs.
