But in fact it is not a lottery. At least no more so than life in general. Some are born rich, some poor. Many consequences flow from that.

But that does not make the legal system a lottery. A judge or jury does not toss a coin in the air to decide the death/life in prison issue. That coin toss is a lottery.

The sick part is the effect that killing prisoners after rendering them helpless on those on the other side of the bars. At a minimum they have to come up with an endless series of rationalizations. It's not the prisoners who are becoming sick, although they are the ones dying.
