Hey, your son/daughter was only worth 99 days of jailtime! I did the math! This is why it's my contention that capital punishment is in fact, life affirming. It demonstrates that as a society, we will exact the ultimate penalty for the wanton taking of another life. Anything less than that diminishes the value we place upon the victim.

I'd guess that few would complain that "he only had to give 1/77th of his life per victim." This is what makes doing that "99 days per victim" math look so foolish.
