Not every family member of victims want to actually SEE someone be killed...that's a huge assumption on your part. Yes, some of them may want Scott to get the death penalty but wether or not they actually want to SEE him be killed is something you know nothing about.

2) The people of the world so that a message can be sent.
It's been researched so many times and the Death Penalty is NOT a deterrent for crime and therefore, there's no need to show it on TV as it will not stop someone from committing a crime. The time that laspes between the time the crime is committed and the time the actual execution takes place, if it even takes place at all, is way to great and people don't make the connection of "ohhh...if I kill this person I will get the death penalty." Not to mention the fact that the Death Penalty is not a 100% guarantee in any case.

3) The people who wanna see their taxpayers money no longer wasted, funding baby killers to stay in jail
As I have already said and shown evidence for, executing someone costs the taxpayers more than keeping them in jail for life.
