It is often said, "nothing unusual, we just get to know about them more easily these days".
Not so really, why? Because in this case this murder was reported half way down this paper's web page, the headlines? Yes you've got it the Sussex's baby.

We are not Americans. We do not have the American mind set. In the USA felons can be on death row for over twenty five years, then may, only may, get a lethal injection. Here we hung them after a relatively short duration. These cowards would be terrified of swinging, and it might make them think twice knowing their possible fate. Either way we would be rid of scum.

By definition, criminals are not very bright, from the shoplifter to the murderer, they are rarely known for fascinating insights into the consequences of their actions. That requires an ability to think ahead and look at possible scenarios, something the average criminal is probably incapable of doing.
I have said before, and I say again, I don't believe that anyone murders someone while thinking about the potential results of being caught and convicted for it. Obviously, if they did, they wouldn't do the murder.
But people who murder people don't think, they just act - which is why Capital Punishment is no deterrent, because no-one ponders its implications in advance of the act.

A lot of States in the US don't have the death penalty. I wonder how their murder rates compare with the States that do. (I'd guess, not very well or we'd keep hearing about them)
But anyway, if foreigners have higher murder rates, why keep importing them. I've seen black kids in London blaming the increase in violence on recent immigrants(and they ought to know)

That is obviously the result - but it's rarely used as an incentive, the 'deterrent' argument - failed though it is, is trotted out on an almost daily basis by sections of the media, and some regulars on here.
