What about getting a lengthy sentence? If I see someone getting 10 years for armed robbery I also get satisfaction because the punishment is just. Simliar to the execution. In fact, it is a common feeling among people.

I wouldn't. I would be very happy.

Yes both are unacceptable, but hey at least if you send someone to prison for life they still have a chance to clear themselves and gain freedom or parole.

Once again you're hitting on the judicial process, not capital punishment itself.

As opposed to imprisoning a man from age 25 to age 65 and then letting him out with a note "oppps sorry he/she was innocent."
Yes. Indeed. Why is the one more acceptable than the other? To me they are both completely unacceptable.
