Torture is a worthless waste of time. The point of the death penalty isn't that it is scary for the person, or that it hurts, it's that the criminal is beyond any chance of reprisal and needs to be eliminated. Personally, and I'm sure others would disagree, I don't see the merit in torturing before killing. The criminal won't learn a lesson. Even if they DO learn a lesson, you are still killing them after, so it doesn't matter. So why waste the time? Put them down, put them in the ground, move on. Absolutely no need for fan fare.
