As someone who is 100% against the death penalty (until they can tell me that there is a 100% certainty that 100% of those convicted to death are guilty) I don't know if I could volunteer to do it. There is a sense of morbid curiosity at play, but it has been something I have battled with a good bit since reading the article for the first time.

Do you think executions should be open to the "public"? I do. Would I volunteer to witness? No. If I were standing around and they asked if I could represent the public; I'd say sure.
