Nothing will bring kids back to life. There's a saying in my country:
"Horsethieves are not being hung because they were stealing horses.
They are being hung so that horses would not get stolen".
Sure, hanging one person who has stolen a horse will stop them stealing another one, unfortunately "make an example of them" sentencing has been tried time and again, yet has never succeeded in eliminating crime.

Exactly. Crime has other social aspects. In today's society I can't see it diminishing. Anyway, as a matter of principle: the man WAS sentenced, served his time (as an example, nothing can undo what he's done) and should be allowed to live (and work) now. Or just kill him. This blaming "family football club" is utter bollox. Then just go and shoot the bloody goalie, if you won't let him live.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
