Does that mean there will be a quota, like the lines in the supermarket
reserved for "8 victims or less*"?
(*Which should really read "8 items or _fewer_," if one wanted to be

If so, how many victims should qualify one for the death penalty? Should
it make a difference if they are young children or police officers? How
about the perpetrator's criminal record?
