The government shouldn't be in the business of killing its citizens.
That being said, I think an interesting dynamic that hasn't been brought up yet, is today's reality TV culture: I think public executions wouldn't deter capital crimes, they would enable more "fame-killers," those who kill just to get into the spotlight.
