Isnt the crime exactly the same, just the level of reward different


If that person is starving and kills for food then no, it's not the same as someone super-rich killing to have even more money.

In the same way, a chronically abused partner gets a lighter sentence than someone who kills their spouse for the insurance payout. It's not a wacky idea, it's even a principle recognised in law with the practice of sentencing spectrums for any given crime.
