And if you look at our legal system, everyone is treated "equally". The penalty for first degree murder has it's statutes (I believe 25 to life), and anyone convicted of that gets punished the same. Now I think that's pretty equal consequences for one's actions. In fact, I believe it's better than equal because a truly reformed person can be paroled in 25 years while the scum of the earth can stay locked up indefinately. The american legal system is wonderful in the aspect that one is innocent until proven guilty. Surely some people fall through the cracks, but for the most part the guilty are where they belong.
