If whether or not I killed you with my drink driving depends only on what second you crossed the road....

There r different rules for discharging a weapon carelessly and murder. Are rules the issue, or possible outcome?
@ScottTalling -
Imagine exactly same actions with exactly same laws & only consequences differ. Shld consequences affect penalty
-
Yeah, beyond gut feeling, it's difficult to reason through...
@ScottTalling -
Intuition (human nature?) favours/demands 'payment' but the law should (imo) be above that and not fuel hate.

I think human law will always serve human needs & retribution is a large part of our evolved psychology.

One of the reasons I am so against capital punishment. It prioritizes vengeance over justice.
@ScottTalling -
Yes, we need to feel retribution is fair & measured.James' book mentions that study where ppl will pay to punish
-
I think I first came across it in Haidt. Ppl will disadvantage selves to punish others tho it won't benefit them
