I just don't understand how the pleas of the victims' families can go ignored. They always say that executions are justice and are to give victims' families closure, but if they don't want the execution to go forward then where is the real justice?

WLBT just said on the news that the execution has been carried out. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Jackson's family.
