@TheManilaTimes While I prefer a death penalty in this particular case, and unfortunately it was abolished years ago, I think handing down life sentences or seven times 70-year sentences, is actually better.
Most inmates won't give them an easy life. Even in the criminal world, there are things you should never ever cross, and this is one. The inmates will punish them for the rest of their lives, they'll want a death penalty instead.
If we give them a death penalty, assuming it was not abolished, we're only giving these evil people an easy escape, they'll probably welcome it with wide opened arms. Much better that they suffer for the rest of their lives.
Sorry but not sorry. What they did was pure evil.
