How can you delineate between criminals who commit identical acts? Their victims are equally dead. Those responsible should receive equal punishment.

Premeditation, mental state, accidental vs. intentional. These are some of the factors that differentiate 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter.
