why does the victim get punished to death and the murderer gets awarded life…
Its obvious that a human life takes a backseat to money and greed, so since life means nothing to this one or his accomplice, they should spend their lives in prison tillthey carry them out in a box
Go with the max and avoid the needless death of another innocent resident.
