I have given your suggestion some thought, because the same thought has passed through my mind.
Executing the guilty party using methods they used, would require a human to execute that sort of effort. I question if that price would be worthy.
It seems to me to be too much to ask. The impact on the person would certainly have to be considerable. Some murders are very gruesome. At some point it is unreasoned to pursue this method. I suggest, it probably is in all circumstances. Execute the person by the method approve by the representatives of the populace.
To rid society of this type of person, is enough.
I don't like to use Bible verses to buttress an opinion, but here it seems prudent to do so.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
I do not believe God will punish in the manner the person has sinned. The person will be destroyed.
I think you took my response too seriously. Who would want to torture that wife yet again with the sound of gunshots? For HER sake, it would be the wrong thing to do.
There was a Texas man who poisoned his child’s Halloween candy to collect on the insurance (one reason parents are all hypersensitive now about what children bring home from ‘Trick or Treat’ and many won’t let their kids ‘Trick or Treat’ at all).
The judge sentenced him to die on October 31st. The ACLU stepped in and claimed this was “cruel and unusual punishment” so the date was pushed back. I would have been happy to see the guy meet his end on Halloween and also have him ingest cyanide by pixie stick to do it.
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19”,
Genesis 9:6 is the proper thump.

There are millions of us out here willing to flip the switch, pull the trigger, strangle him barehanded or tie the knot in the rope.
We have been pushed to this brink by a justice system that rarely serves the innocent and allows too much sympathy for the convicted.
Yet our God will have the final word.
