That situation only proves your point that the only reason for capital punishment is retribution which I would agree with.
I think my city was going to start showing the pictures of men arrested for buying hookers on t.v. thinking that would stop men from doing it. Funny idea but I'm pretty sure it didn't work.

In a related story, we spent 13 million on the prosecution of co-conspirator Terry Nichols and only managed to get life in prison. For the same crime!
If the difference between life and death sentences is so arbitrary, I don't see how the death penalty can be just.
