Because the quality of mercy is not strained.
Because the whole point of the justice system is to show we can do better as a society than the aberrant criminals who refuse to participate.
Because we can do better than strapping down fellow humans and taking their lives for vengeance's sake in an admission we can't do any better.
Because no one free of demons, illness or chaotic turmoil commits such heinous acts. Because human brains are fallible. Because sometimes others have beaten an individual into the monster they appear to be.
Because people with life with no parole don't get out of prison, they don't hurt the public again, they fade from the limelight. The threat is over - why not see if there's anything at all redeemable in this situation rather than beat the rest of it to death with our own jackboots?
