I'll cop to this. It bothers me, not a drop, that this guy suffered the way he did. In fact, in my cosmology, I think it probably helped mitigate some of what he has in store for himself. I assume you've read the chronology of the execution, and also are familiar with the details of the homicide he committed. The only problem I have with capital punishment, is the fact that some of the people are innocent. Otherwise, I support it. I don't see them altering these views in any way as a result of "some kind of science" trying to convince them that there is no free will.
