I agree, just one innocent life taken and the system has failed to protect the innocent. True, were I to loose a member of my family, child, husband to a murder, I would probably want them to be hung, draw and quartered, but that would be an emotional response not a objective response, which I think the law has to have, hence the victims family members are never in the jury. I also agree that life should mean life and not a recommended time that they do not in the end serve.
