Gideon will enjoy all of these things while Stephanie will still be ... the value of all life in contempt. This upholds the value of all life. Many would argue that this so-called "eye for an eye" approach is unconstitutional, citing the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Th 8th Amendment states "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
