If you punch someone in anger & they a) crack head & die or b) land softly & have a sore nose, diff penalties?

I'd say 'yes, those consequences need to be paid for" but find it hard to justify other than intuitively.

Thanks for thoughts. Punishment IMO is to deter/protect/reform. Revenge = 2 wrongs to make a right.
