Actions vs. Consequences

Austrian incest father charged with murder: official

"Josef Fritzl -- who held his daughter as a sex slave in a cellar for 24 years -- has been charged with murdering one of the children he had with her, according to the charge sheet published on Thursday.
Prosecutors allege he was responsible for the death of a new-born in 1996 by failing to seek help even though he was aware that the baby might die. If proved, the charge could carry a sentence of life imprisonment. . .
Fritzl has also been charged with rape and sequestration, which carry a maximum sentence of 15 years in jail."

1. Psychopath!
2. Why is it that holding someone prisoner and raping them for 24 years only gets 15 years in prison?
3. It takes murdering one of his rape-babies/grandchildren to get a life sentence.
