7. 1st Degree Rape - reimbursement for any income lost, surgery, & counselling.
8. 1st Degree Murder - reimbursement for income lost.
Reimbursement need not be monetary. If the victim or his/her family so demands, the offender could be subjected to forced servitude, with any fruits thereof going directly to the victim or his/her family.
Probably the murderer would not be able to cut $20 million dollars worth of grass in a lifetime. With that in mind, the victim's faimly might choose a $19.5 million dollar payout & have him work on clipping the rest, so they get the money & he does the time for the crime.
heh? If somebody sells a secret to the "bad guys" and that secret leads to the death of Americans and they are caught, they should be let go?

Well my point was that treason shouldn't exist as an actual crime. If somebody does that, they should be charged with murder of anyone who dies as a result, but not with any crime called treason.
[/quote]Aye, understood. I still disagree, but I understand better where you are coming from and it makes more sense.
Further on this road, say a Private in the Army tells the bad guys where and when the invasion is going to take place, the good guys find out about it before hand and are forced to use plan B which is a much riskier plan. 150 men end up dying during the execution of plan B, about what the planners expected. They only expected 20 casualties if they could have used plan A. What should the Private's punishment be? What is the name of the crime?

Difficult to say. I'm not sure the private could be convicted of anything, since while they expected 20 casualties with plan A, they can't be certain that would have happened. It's possible something would have gone wrong & there would have been 200 deaths, in which case the Private actually saved 50 people by telling the plan.
Even assuming a more reasonable error, such as 30 deaths instead of 20, you probably wouldn't be able to definitively say how many people died because of him or which people died because of him. The purpose of a libertarian court system is to make restitution to the victim, so punishing someone becomes infeasible if you cannot determine who exactly their victim was. I say probably, because it is possible that plan B used an entirely different division than plan A, in which case all of the deaths under plan B could be attributed to his actions, as the soldiers would not have been in harm's way otherwise.
