Not at all because the role of the judicial system, ideally, is adjudicate such cases, based on facts, and apply the sentence based on the situation. That's why there are so many flavors of prosecution for taking someone's life.
Also, I'm not taking the killers life. The justice system is taking his life as part of a well known and documented process of redress. That's why we put them there in the first place.
