It varies from state to state.

This is also a problem. Why should the sentence be different for killing a policeman in Virginia than it is for killing a policeman in Montana? Or Alaska? Or Florida?
The sentence should be the same - the crime is the same. (Just as I believe the sentence should be the same for killing someone regardless of the reasoning behind the killing.)
More than anything, this all points out multiple problems with our justice system. You want to really get me going? Talk about judges who give children back to their sexually abusive parents so they can rape their kids again or who let multiple DWI offenders get their licenses back so they can go out and run over our children.
Arrgh - just thinking about it gets me going.
