Maybe I'm on my own?
Perhaps rather than being cruel to murderers and low life we should show them compassion and give them the chance to mend their ways, prove to us they are worthy members of society, reward them for their short comings by giving them the better things in life.
Perhaps we are being too harsh?
If I had a daughter or son killed for example, I'm sure I would take a step back and consider it from his point of view?

O.K. I lie, I'm selfish, I would consider it from my point of view.

That is, if the sick bastard caught bang to rights continues to deny he did anything wrong, the rope is too good for him.
