No that is not fair or balanced. In the case of Mr. Osborne, he took two lives. By your logic, he took two lives, so in "fair" return two lives should be taken. Perhaps him and a relative. For Jeffery Dalmer, he took the lives of countless prostitutes. Perhaps for fair compensation we need to sacrifice a countless number of virgins.
One life is NOT fair compensation for another life.
