You should look into the concept of "perverse incentives." Basically, if you make the sentence for absolutely any crime life in prison, then genuinely bad people who set out to commit crimes (as opposed to foolish people who drink alcohol, as in this case) will just automatically kill their victims all the time, in order to reduce their chances of getting convicted. That's what happens when a minor case of assault and battery is regarded by the "law" as identical to someone like Jeffrey Dahmer killing and eating people.
