He also wouldn't have repeated his actions if he was dead. The difference is
that it would be considerably cheaper to execute him than to lock him up for
life. Wouldn't that money be better spend funding hospitals or such?

I wouldn't be supprised if all of them were there for that reason. I'd
imagine anyone who wanted him dead, but not out of hate for him wouldn't
need to see him being executed.
