But I don't think executions should be public--unless watching executions changes people's minds about the death penalty.
I think there are good reasons why the nation decided against public executions after 1936.

Public was just a turn of phrase and I'm not advocating the gallows on city square; however, I do feel there should be a degree of transparency. I feel like I am taking the liberal stance and others who think they should be closed to the public are taking the conservative stance.

I can only assume by "change your mind" you mean to going from pro to con; yet the execution described in the OP may change someone from con to pro, if they were to see it's not like on the Green Mile with thedry sponge.
