I believe it’s very important that these executions are observed. If the state gets to operate with impunity and no witnesses, many of these states have shown they don’t have what it takes to act ethically with regards to the death penalty.

That's a really good point. I came into the comments with the same opinion as OP that allowing people (especially victims) to witness executions is kind of fucked up, but you're 100% correct.

I'm very much against the death penalty. My state doesn't have it anymore, and good riddance. However, those kinds of checks are necessary, if it absolutely must occur.
