I'd rather we focus on protecting potential victims/law abiding citizens than cossetting psychopaths.

Nice. I love the cynical approach. Your perspective is extremely shortsighted. I am not talking about the single case, I'm talking about long term. Why can't you do both, worry about victims and decrease the number of future victims?

Jailing, and execution, doesn't decreased future crimes. The US has one of the highest rates of criminals returning to jail after their first visit. Its a bigger social and correctional issue.
