I think we should scrap the sentencing part of the "justice" system and just us an "American Idol" type show for convicted offenders. They can plead their case in front of a panel of prominent killers, who'll criticize them on their un-original choice of weapons. Then, the audience can call in to choose a sentence.
"A pick-axe to the head is very efficient, but you could have come up with a better excuse than 'you were high' when defending yourself."
To vote for a 5-year sentence, dial 1-900-669-FIVE
To vote for a 10-year sentence, dial 1-900-669-0TEN
To vote for a life sentence, dial 1-900-SCRW-YOU
During "sweeps week," they'd probably bring back the death penalty. Don't worry...I don't actually watch these shows...and won't, until they do actually bring in something interesting like corporal punishment for the losers.
