I'm glad that half the people in this thread ranting about violent punishments will never know a lick of power. If you fight fire with fire everyone ends up getting burned.
The law only works when it's held to a higher standard then the people it's judging, if any of the punishments people reccommended were actually implemented then how would that make us any better then criminals? The only difference between would be a misplaced sense of self righteousness.
You can always tell what a person is like by how they treat their lessers, not their equals.

It's a special kind of evil that would extinguish a life just for the sake of money when other options are readily available.
As I said before, if it as upto me I'd give him a longer sentence but would have made sure he got some sort of psychological care so that he's not a danger to anyone else when he is eventually released.
