I'm sorry will you do have an agenda here. You are looking for a secondary reason as its not your primary reason for opposing the death penalty.
Its witnessing an execution traumatic? Sure, but so what. You are trying to claim you oppose it for the victims which is just bullshit, I'll let them answer not some young psychologist who is fundamentally opposed to the entire concept.
So sure they were happy about it after, but we need to wait months and months and THEN see they were depressed they were thinking about their loved one and the execution, see its traumatic on them! I mean who would have thought that the murder of a loved one might come back to haunt someone even after an execution!
And yes I'm sure at times it does bring up old wounds, after all it takes so fucking long to execute someone. Perhaps speeding it up such as with McVey will help that part out too.
I have an idea will, lets let the next of kin decide and render your argument moot. Oh wait I forget, as a liberal, people don't know whats good for them and you need to get the government to decide for them, my bad
