Quite untrue. Most victims' families find themselves angrier when waiting for the murderer to die. Most victims' families who isntead of wallowing in their anger, go to the prison to meet the murderer feel better afterwards. The idea of "closure through death penalty" is a load of crap. It just encourages the continuing of the anger rather than letting the families actually work through it in constructive ways.
