It is a matter of opinion and one that many people feel strongly about. Is the taking of a life because of a crime morally justifiable?
Punishments are meant to serve a number of purposes:
Deterrent - Killing someone certainly sends a message to others that it isn't a good idea to do that crime.
Punishment (Quest for revenge) - Certainly does get revenge.
Rehabilitation - Nope, doesn't rehabilitate the criminal. There are many that feel you can never truly rehabilitate a criminal, they are bad and will always be bad.
Protect Society - Certainly does prevent that criminal from ever committing that crime, or any crime, again.
