  1. I think it importat to see that Curley thinks the unfairness is that the worste purpetrator got a lesser sanction. The injustice was the recieving of the lesser sentence.

    The death penalty is a just and appropriate sanction and it saves additional innocent lives.

    DETERRENCE

    All prospects of a negative outcome deter some. It is a truism. The death penalty, the most severe of criminal sanctions, is the least likely of all criminal sanctions to violate that truism.
