"What's the answer then?" Coming up with the "right" answer is a lost cause. It appears we have been asking the wrong question all along, and so, any answer is inadequate. Do we punish or not? How severely do we punish? What constitutes cruel or unusual punishment? Does the punishment fit the crime? and on and on...The answers to all of these questions only bring irresolute bumbling. This is putting the cart before the horse. The first question should be simpler, after all we are only human. "What would it take to bring a resolution to the problem?" should be the first question. What the criminal deserves should be considered secondarily, if at all. Heinous crimes are not resolvable by rehab, punishment, torture, etc. Well, I could be wrong about that; but if there is one exceptional case in history, I wish they would make a movie of it.
