What is moral about letting someone who takes an innocent life not forfeit their own?

"What is moral about letting someone who takes an innocent life not forfeit their own?"

Nothing, according to Scripture. Here in Virginia, it seems we've lost the fortitude to prescribe the death penalty. It's rarely used anymore. Earlier this year, a local man beat his elderly mother-in-law to death because she wouldn't give him money. He was sentenced to 35 years.

I'm sticking with this:

"And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.

“Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind."

Genesis 9.
