Life in The Bahamas seems to get cheaper by the day, According to our law, the dollar value of a human life is said to be approximately $10,000 (presumably excluding VAT), ie less than half the cost of many new cars! In many societies, the objectives of justice are: Punishment, Rehabilitation, and Deterrence. Were any of these criteria achieved in this case?
