People get less for 2nd degree murder. In some states they get less for rape. Count me out of the crowd that believes an awful decision that resulted in tragedy is the same as someone who intentionally ends someone else’s life or sexually assaults them.

It also doesnt bring anyone back. No doubt I would want the death penalty if it had been my loved one, but it doesn't change anything. No sense in wasting tax money housing him forever when he still could do something down the road. Doesn't mean it wasn't a terrible, terrible decision by him. He'll have to live with that forever too. It's just a terrible situation from top to bottom.
