But isn't the justice system an extension of society's will? If a debt is owed to society, society cannot force repayment or punishment, but the justice system can and usually does. I just don't see the seperation of society and the criminal system. It seems to me that the two are intertwined and dependent upon each other.

I think you are right to keep asking "why should this man be different", if we can't answer that then we should admit we are wrong.

I just like consistency. One exception to the rule only leads to other exceptions.
