The expected value of murder in any case only comes out positive if there are more than 7,000 people on average at risk from the action - which will happen when there are 7 billion people on the planet and I am 100% convinced the actor is going to perform the action once, OR there are 6.5 billion people on the planet and I am 54% convinced the actor is going to perform the action twice, OR 6.5 billion, 36% sure of three actions... etc.
I can't speak for the legal system but "one death for 6570 lives" vs "6570 deaths for one blog post" speaks for itself.
