The problem with that is the same as it always was.
While it is not likely to be the case in this instance, if someone is later found to have been wrongly convicted (it happens) it is fiendishly difficult to un-execute them. Institute capital punishment for this fella and where do you stop? Should Martin Bryant be executed? I would argue that his actions were much more premeditated than this bloke, who you would have to describe as unhinged rather than calculating.
