Absolutely, I am very surprised when a man who killed a man 30 gives almost as much as a person that he steals anything. Are human lives comparable to material things?
That depends on the nature of the murder. Here in India, if someone kills a person as a result of rash driving, he is given a warning and a monetary fine and then let off. That is the difference between pre-meditated murder and unintentional homicide. See the case of Oscar Pistorius. He received a lenient sentence as the judge decided that he had committed an unintentional homicide.
