Same reason we have caps on unlimited broadband; the world has elements that are, without a shadow of a doubt, [LIFTED].
For a more realistic answer, I'd say that it's due to prison overcrowding, the potential for rehabilitation, and the fact that our justice system isn't.

New law, so they want to show it exists and what it can be applied to I would assume....

Give it a few weeks in prison and that might change. Strangely, there is honour among thieves.

You prosecute the offence that best suits the crime. That, and I expect involuntary manslaughter would be harder to prove in this instance.

Baby Peter was the same age as my youngest when he died. Every time I read or hear the details of this case it fills me with so many emotions. Anger that any person could inflict such horrific injuries to a child, and so much sadness when I try to imagine the suffering this poor baby boy suffered at the hands of his own mother. What a wretched tortured life this poor boy suffered in his so short life. Many times this story has left me close to tears
People like this cannot be reformed through the prison system, a person who harms a child has something severely wrong. For a parent to torture their child is abhorrent in the most extreme sense.
If I were given the job, I would gladly kill these people, without the merest hint of compunction.
