"Retribution is "just desserts"......

If you could define "just desserts" in a simple enough manner that all of us as a matter of "self evidence" could accept, then you would have me in your camp. I see vengeance as a piece of that pie for most people. If you go around and ask one-hundred people what the full just desserts for Jeffery Dommer should be at the hands of society, I bet 98% of your answers would be entangled with vengefullness.

In the case of Jeffery Dommer, some of us would feel like we acquired some level or retribution (payment of debt to society) by the actions of the justice system, most would see that compensation was due.
