Has anyone any sympathy?

What charity would want something repaired by Ian Huntley and his murderer mates?

I understand this sort of thing goes on in prisons, I know someone who became a bricky after doing a course inside. (No pun intended) So it's applicable to the low level crims who fell in with the wrong crowd or did a one-off silly.

But these guys should just be locked in a room with a bible, and given only tracing paper toilet roll.

They dont sign their handiwork - how would they know. They do jobs in prison some is for charity work - like a pushbike workshop for example.

People get unfairly killed in all sorts of activities (working, flying, sports, driving) yet we carry on doing those activities.

They certainly strive to make it safer, once fatalities occur or ban some activities outright, yes. That’s the problem with a death sentence, it’s somewhat final. The only way to improve that is to make it quicker or cheaper.

The law exists to deal with wrong doing so you (us) don't take matters into our own hands.
Did the law do it's job or did someone else step in to do the job?

The law did it's job. It was applied as it is in law, the other bloke stepped outside of the law, again. He clearly enjoys killing, you aren't supposed to be in prison so you can do things you find enjoyable, what sort of punishment is that?

Why are people so stupid as to look at the history of capital punishment and the numerous examples of people wrongly or unfairly killed, then go 'yes but this time it would be different and only the really bad people would be killed'.

I fully agree. If just one innocent person is executed, That’s too many.

I’ve always thought it was a horrible idea

But if the guilt is 100% certain....I mean it's on camera or 50 people witness it, then do away with them I'd say.

If there’s no doubt at all maybe. But with Ai etc now you can’t trust anything really.

Some people deserve it imho, but the concept is too flawed

Who would have the discretion to make that call. Jury, Judge or Home Secretary.
 
The problem is that if certain death would result from your crime then there are some that would actually be encouraged to commit the crime knowing they would get the death sentence.
