The manner in which you are presenting these cases doesn't seem to be calling for justice but for vengance. There is a difference. The death penalty is in place to remove a menace to society from that society. It is not in place to seek vengance.

I disagree. How is 20 years served in prison for confessed murder "justice"? Justice implies some sort of balance between the crime and the punishment. For intentional homicide, the just punishment is death.

I stand behind what I posted earlier but if I was on the jury, the guy that tortured and then murdered little Samantha might be an exception.
