Yea, killing a human in cold blood is supposed to be all the same in the eyes of the laws.
The fact that it was some pretty young mother of two attractive kids, or a rotten drunk, mean old hermit should not make a difference, but it does.
Every single time they interview some neighbor or friend of a victim the victim is described as a wonderful warm person that would give the shirt off their backs to help their fellow man. There would be a lot of shirtless people if that were true.
I have never seen the the person described as a rotten mean drunk that beat his wife and dogs.
In the end the victim statement is a mostly to let the people that cared feel a bit better and get to tell the killer how bad they feel. I understand that, and it is all they have left but memories and photos.
