--------------------------------------------

Kim So-young, put on trial on charges of serial motel murders, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a court of first instance, despite the prosecution seeking the death penalty. Kim immediately appealed the ruling, claiming that a life sentence was excessive.
The victim's family argues that Kim's crimes, committed not just once but as a series of murders, involved "definite intent." They maintain that a symbolic death sentence is necessary regardless of whether it is ultimately carried out.
Which side of the argument do you lean toward?
