"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. Your modern world confuses and frightens me! But I do know this - haven't the victims and their families suffered enough, without the added trauma of the delayed closure they will have to endure if their loved ones' murderer is put to death?"

Whichever way you fall on the death penalty, that's a pretty manipulative and shitty argument, imho.
