To my ears, that sounds extremely humane and reasonable. However, I'd be curious to hear if you think it is possible that you would feel some relief or release if the murderer were executed. Maybe something like the 'closure' we hear so much about in pop psychology?
This is not to say that emotional relief for the victim's family and loved ones is sufficient to justify a death sentence, but it strikes me that it should be taken into consideration (this is all assuming we knew without a doubt the killer's guilt).
