Great plan.
“If thumbs down, the closest family member/legal representative pulls the lever, pushes the plunger or throws the switch.”
To this I suggest it be added that, where there is a choice, manner of death is chosen by the victim’s loved one(s) so that even that measure of control is out of the killer’s hands.
I’m OK with that as long as it’s one of the several usual methods we’ve already employed. I’m not into the boiling oil, chipper shredder or any of the other creative methods some here advocate. In the case of life sentencing, I wouldn’t be in favor of torture any more than I would coddling with special meal or priveledges - just work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work . . .
