"Justice for Deborah Thornton is complete, " Richard Thornton said
after the execution of her killer, Karla Faye Tucker, in Texas. "I
want to say to every victim in the world, demand this." But which
form of justice is this victim demanding-retribution or
restoration?
Taking seriously the claims of death penalty supporters, Lloyd
Steffen constructs a theory of just execution. For every
acknowledged killer on death row there are dozens who maintain
their innocence. Supporters of the death penalty -- along with its
opponents -- must demand fairness so that innocent persons are not
subjected to the terror of an unjust execution.
Reminding us that Jesus likewise faced the terror of unjust
execution, Steffen asks Christians to reacquaint themselves with
the symbol of the cross as an instrument of state terror rather
than a divine decoration.
