>Not every killer should go to jail for life, but (let's say) some do; thus, the maximum is life.

Many countries don't have life sentences.

I'm not convinced of the value of life imprisonment (or of imprisonment). I only meant to state that the maximum sentence is not related to these perpetrators, but the worst possible perpetrator of a given crime.

(Edit: forgot the "not" in "not convinced".)
