Oh, just a Yes. Banality of Evil is a pathetic sort of Evil.
   Should the man have been hung for a crime he didn't realize he
   committed? Well, I don't believe in capital punishment, but
   imprisonment is fine. Still, justifiable. People still died. The
   fact that he was only doing his job and unaware of the extent of
   his crimes makes his case pathetic but no less criminal.

   In the case of unawareness, given a choice between capitol
   punishment (which again, I don't believe in) and imprisonment, I
   would give imprisonment/treatment.

   If it was a 6 year old who killed, there's still something wrong
   there that should be treated even if he was unaware.

   Perhaps a separate-but-similar punishment system for wicked
   crimes with awareness and wicked crimes without awareness, but
   not freedom-due-to-unawareness. That, to me, is disrespectful to
   the victims.

   I can't disassociate evil from society's response, for to me,
   evil is a social more.
