What issues come up for forensic psychologists regarding the death penalty? Is there any controversy given the controversial topic itself?

NETTI v. QUARTERMAN

The 8th Amendment requires an individual have a factual and rational understanding of his execution.

what does it mean to have a “factual and rational understanding of his execution”?

Does this differ depending on the state and their laws on the death penalty?

I struggle with where I stand on the death penalty, and I think I personally would struggle with this decision making process and wonder how forensic psychologists stay objective.
