There’s nuance here you’re just not willing to accept, that’s why you keep bringing up the worst of the worst like that’s a persuasive argument.
There’s a sliding scale of criminality. At some point someone has to make a determination between the most egregious, who are executed, and less vicious crimes where the defendant is jailed indefinitely. The person who is making that determination cannot ever be wrong for your approach to work.
That’s my point, mistakes were and are being made because that’s what happens when you ask people to make these decisions.
You seem to be ignoring what I’m saying in favor of your own set opinion.
Go look in the mirror, you’re describing yourself, not me.
Look at the examples you keep referring to. How to you make the distinction between the two examples you mention? The law does not and changing it to accommodate a distinction between run of the mill murder and murder + icky things is ridiculous.

That’s not how the legal system works, at all.
Your slightly strange obsession with “monsters” is clouding your ability to think critically on this issue.

Right, so straight up murder = life in prison. Murder but you also fuck the corpse = straight to the gas chamber.
Weird.
