I found very interesting the different perspectives about death penalty
which ultimately represent a difference in morality. Kelle and Hansen had closure on their relatives death. The murders faced trial and justice was reached. Though seeing it from Ricketts perspective, I would understand why he would be pro-death penalty; the murdered of his cousin had never had a trial, the murder went into a cold case, thus Rickett has never had closure. This can be taken into the perspective that Rickett views the murderer not as a human. Therefore, he would want the death of this person, as he would want the death of any murderer, because he learnt how to dehumanize them.
