Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The Christian Left would likely disagree with this statement, as they believe that justice should be impartial and not subject to the emotions of the victim's family. They often emphasize the importance of forgiveness and mercy, as well as the sanctity of life, as reasons for their opposition to the death penalty. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment could lead to a desire for revenge, which goes against the teachings of Jesus on forgiveness and love for one's enemies (Matthew 5:43-48).
