So they show photos of the convicts, but only list the names of their victims? How about showing crime scene/autopsy photos, and family photos of the victims?

I imagine most victims' families would prefer not to see crime scene/autopsy photos publicly displayed.

Generally the murderers looked pretty nasty, if the intent was to create sympathy for them I don't think it was very successful. Some of them looked completely ordinary, and there's a lesson there too. Being that this is Ann Arbor and this is a University of Michigan exhibit I also think that the intent most likely was to make the viewer pity the poor murderer. Didn't work with me.
