They are all the same, and not the same. And the state should not be in the business of taking lives.

This should not be about right or left, it should rather be about right or wrong.

I agree, still. For the record, I don't think it's appropriate to sentence criminals differently on account of their political leanings. Or their race or religion or place of birth or dominant hand or height or favorite music, etc.

I already said that I don't think the disparity in sentencing had anything to do with political bias. I don't know what you're looking for from me. If you'd like to discuss the political bias you see in this, I'll need something more to react to because what you're seeing is not apparent. There are so many variables in sentencing that I don't see any way you can attribute this difference to political bias.
