Certainly the jury/trial/sentencing system, itself, is one of the problems with the death penalty.

But was that xoB's original issue ?

I read his OP more along the lines of "justifiable homicide",
that was not an imminent threat or fight-or-flight self-defense.
Instead, it seems more along the lines of revenge or prevention from further abuse.

Obviously, the judiciary system and society failed this boy/man during his lifetime.
But did he have alternative's, and what form of punishment would be appropriate ?
