There is nothing to get.
Maybe being a close family member of a victim involved in a death penalty case would affect how that judge thinks about the death penalty.
Did the execution bring closure to him/her?
Does he/she now have a victim's family perspective?
Or would it not really affect his/her judicial decisions at all?
I don't know the answer, but judge X is one of the likely nominees of Bush to the Supreme Court, and I wonder if this aspect of judge X's personal history matters to anyone.
