Jail is for people we believe we can "save" or "punish" for commiting a crime. The whole idea of jail is to "rehabilitate" a person, while taking them out of society so that they cannot commit another crime while undergoing this "rehabilitation". THAT is why there are the "good behavior" clauses. If you show that you can be a fine, upstanding member of society for long enough, they believe that the "rehabilitation" has worked, you have seen the error of your ways, and you will not commit a crime again.
Bearing all this in mind, are you- and by "you" I mean anyone who pulls that (IMO) annoying as fuck "eye for an eye makes everyone blind" shit- going to tell the parents, the brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, husbands/wives, children, etc., of all the victims of fucked-up heinous crimes such as this that there
exists a "just" or "fair" punishment?
It's very easy to say "put them in jail", but sometimes we need to gather and focus the strength of our convictions, and realize that this is not a recoverable member of society. There is no program to make this a sane, reasonable person. This is an atrocious act for which, in my opinion, there are only 2 options- make them rot in a jail WHERE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO QUESTION that they stay locked up until their demise. Put them in a room with a bed to lay on, and wall it up- leaving space to deliver food. A person needs several "consecutive life sentences" to guarantee they stay locked up forever, and they're not easy to get in a court (and still not satisfactory in my book).
Option 2: Shotgun blast to the face (or maybe stoning, let the whole family of the victim kill her together). We really should bring back stoning.
Let the husband of the dead pregnant lady pull the trigger. Videotape it, and sell it as pay-per-view TV, all proceeds go to charities.
NOTE: I have no past experience which has soured or solidified my opinions on this matter (never had someone I know killed or anything), I just feel very strongly about this topic in general.
