Retribution does not equal Vendetta. Neither does punishment equal revenge. Osbourne murderer two people with the full knowledge that the price for such an action was death. He brought this upon himself. The death penalty for murder is a fair law and there is no compelling evidence that the State administered it unjustly.
Mr Osborne is responsible for his own death. No one else.
