The State collects on the debt owed to the State, not on any imagined debt owed to the victim.
Imagined? That crime is some imagining. Imagine being blinded by a face full of acid.
Was it the state that his happened to or the woman?
Imagined in the sense that in a civilized country we have agreed that the government will seek our revenge FOR us when things like this happen.
Personally I think the penalty for something like this should be the death penalty, but that should be done our current system. Not throw acid on the guy til he's dead.
Why should he die? His victim did not die. She was blinded by acid. A just punishment would be the same thing happening to him.
In a civilized society the government does no seek revenge for us or for itself. It seeks justice.
