I don't know about that.....the perp did say he loved her,
I really don't think "Jail" is an effective punishment or means of transforming criminals into functional citizens, it may even be ineffective in preventing crimes in the first place. Look at the recidivism rates: we got 60-80% of thieves getting back out of prison to rob again! Yet some how only ~6% of rapist get back out to rape again, and only 3% of child molesters plug a child again after prison, and only 1% of those who committed homicide when released (why released?) commit a new murder! What we need to determine is why would it be better of to shoot thieves on sight and give more murders and rapists second chances?
Late last year, an Iranian court gave Bahrami what she asked for. It sentenced Movahedi to be blinded with drops of acid in each eye. This month, the courts rejected Movahedi's appeal.
That's it? Her face was melted and he gets eye drops? Sounds a lot like US justice to me. A person rapes, tortures, kills a person and they get put to sleep by injection.

Or they escape the injection or chair through a plea bargain.
Maybe her family should have demanded the same punishment for him..
I agree with blinding him in revenge. It's fair, and other such men will feel less confident about harming women.

I disagree. He will be released and live the rest of his life in the comfort of his own home. If his family has any form of wealth, they will get him the best help available to help him cope with his blindness. He will have no scars like the scars he gave her. He won't have to have countless surgeries like she had to have to her face and hands. He will have acid eyedrops placed gently in his eyes and then probably sent home. He could very well marry later on.. find a job.. live life basically.. He won't be made to pay for her mounting medical costs.
How exactly is that a deterrent to other men who wish to harm women?
It is an improvement over jail though.
Because stuff like torture and capital punishment are such well known deterrents?
But if they blind him how can he work to help his victim get what she needs in life as he would give her a big chunk of his paycheck.
exactly! Its an irrational and barbaric move by the government to contemplate on harming anyone! They are better suited to work for life and others if they are healthy and happy.
Are you suggesting some kind of enslavement system where criminals are forced to work for what ever time of their sentence? I like it!
yes, I am.
Smalldifferences.
This man intentioanlly threw acid in someone's face in an attempt to deliberately disfigure/blind them. He chose his actions based on his desired outcome.
Now say you are driving home at what you felt was a safe speed and suddenly your tire blows on ice. You lose control of the car and fishtail into the oncoming lane striking another car and cuasing a fatal accident. Did you choose to blow a tire? Was your desired outcome to hurt of maim people?
Intent has a lot to do with the law as does culpability. In the first incident the man is 100% culpable in the second there is none.
You do know that some definations of violence include taking assets away or restricting the rights and privilages of an individual. Your complete nonvilent system would have people walking free after a crime.
