You have still not explained how life in prison for Ted Bundy is just, you simply declared that it is. Do you not understand the criteria needed to qualify something as a just outcome? Hint: It has to be more than declaring it an alternative. Individuals in the United States pledge their allegiance to support justice for all. The role of the justice system is to secure that condition, not just for the perpetrators of crimes but also for victims and society at large. Based on the definition you provided, how would you explain the sentence to life in prison with all the benefits, amounting to 113k per year for heinous criminals like Ted. While a retiree who has lived an honest hard working life receives benefits amounting to about 11K per year. How do you explain this as morally right and fair? In a just system a crime is resolved when the punishment is seen as fitting the crime. This is an over riding concern because justice prevails when society and the criminal have the chance to reconcile in this way. The criminal and society consider it fair and just and past grievances are forgotten as an outcome. What is the morally right action, which is fair (fits the crime) and which makes it possible for those who've suffered loss, and for society at large to reconcile the crimes of someone like Ted Bundy, who has brutally murdered over fifty people? adjective: just; 1. based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.
