My rational mind says no, I don't believe in the death penalty and so he should be imprisoned.

But my gut says that he is a broken vessel that needs to be removed from existence. I once heard a Buddist Nun say that in some cases the death penalty effectively stops the man from digging a deeper karmic hole for himself and is therefore desirable.

It's too overwhelming. I am thankful not to be directly involved in the case.
