moments before it was due to take place, as the family decided
to forgive him, this was in Iran, the photo's were quite harrowing, so wasn't sure if i should post the link, makes me think our own justice system
has something in it's favour.
I really am against the death penalty. It doesn't deter others from committing similar crimes and doesn't actually "punish" the offender (as when you are dead you cannot repent, regret or rehabilitate). Please do post the link, emmie. I'm sure if someone reads your question properly they will realise that the link is graphic and can chose not to open it.

i have linked it, you can judge for yourself, i was just wondering why the family chose to leave it to the very last moment, the mother slapped his face, then said he was forgiven, and that he should not hang,
this is the sort of thing that was commonplace in Britain, thank goodness it's not now. I do sometimes wish some scummy murderers hang from the highest tree, but better they spend the rest of the days in prison.
he had been in prison for a long time, surely time enough for the family to make up their minds, i do wonder if some form of monetary compensation may have been paid
Those photos show it to be incredibly close. He actually had the noose round his neck. Perhaps, as 2sp says, the reality of kicking the chair out might have been too much.
Once he is hung he is dead and cease to exist, the family of the dead person would have to deal the psychological impact of that.
This way he has spent time in prison, had the horrendous experience of almost being hanged (that is bound to scare the cr@p out of anyone) and then may still spend the rest of his life in prison.
I noticed that the crowds looked pretty peeved at the cancellation of their entertainment. Whilst I am not 'completely' against capital punishment I think that going to watch someone (who could be a stranger to them) die is a bit perverse.
they seem far more intent on these sorts of eye for eye punishments though, and i too noticed the crowds, very unsavoury - if he does go free i hope he does something with the rest of his life
Surely a punishment is only a punishment to the individual if he/she has to conciously endure it .
You cannot endure something that you are not conciously aware of
