So I could never stand to watch anything like that.  When people talk abpouit the worst ways to die suggestions will come up like "Burning", "starving", "torn apart by animals", but no one usually mentions "Being executed as a convicted killer".  Noy only do you die, but your entire legacy is destroyed.

I'm with you both on the idea, but in the case of someone like Gacy, or Bundy, or whomever we were certain about I'd agree to watch.

I hope no one will interpret my fascination with seeing it as a support for the act itself.
