Umm, last I checked, the sentences for the one were rather less severe than the sentences for the other. >> Book law. We were talking assassination, and then, if the friends of the victim retain power, anything goes. Everyone vaguely connected with the Lincoln assassination, with the exception of Dr. Mudd, was hanged. Mudd got off with life only because he was completely innocent. And it would not be too hard to find a case where the person who actually caused the death of another with malice aforethought or in the commission of another crime got a lighter sentence than a peripheral figure, who, say, drove the getaway car. Easy to find current US cases where the latter got death, the former life at worst. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turn your EGROUP into a GROUP BUYING GROUP!
