[QUOTE="Star*, post: 318604, member: 4964"] The thing that got to me was one of the victims daughters was interviewed and said that she wanted to be there to watch Malvo take his last breath because he watched her Father take his last breath. It made me sad to think that someone had held on to their anger for so long on top of loosing their Father. I understand it. I just think and hope that at the last minute she chose not to watch - it will be something she'll never get out of her mind, on top of loosing a Father, and carrying around the anger. Just seems like Malvo got to take another life and she didn't even realize it. The eye for an eye I was referring to is Cheryl Witz, daughter of the father who was maliciously gunned down. I felt sorry for her logic thinking that watching Muhammad (originally quoted as Malvo but corrected by klmno as Muhammad) take his last breath would somehow justify her Father loosing his life. I know she's hurting, who wouldn't. I just don't know if she really wouldn't have been better not watching. The other victim's relative sat out in the car outside the prison and said that he deserved to die, she didn't need to see him die to know he was dead. I guess I didn't explain that very well. I don't know what good comes from watching another human die. In another interview I read a son (survivior of another man shot) said that the only thing he felt would be fair would be to let Muhammad stand somewhere and let him shoot him dead. To me? That sounded like eye for an eye justice balancing the scales, and I understand it - but just saying at the time you say it you THINK it will make you feel better. When it comes down to it, most of us really would not want that eye for an eye justice - we'd want swift and fair punishment. (make better sense?) Sorry to be confusing. [/QUOTE]
