Assuming any outcome is possible? Society figures out what caused the person to take that action, fixes the person to the point where they no longer feel they will, and will not commit crimes in the future, and forgives that person of what they did. The storekeeper should probably get insurance payments. If the storekeeper dies, that sucks. Keeping a person locked up their whole lives doesn't bring them back, and locking them up won't fix why others do the thing in the first place.So what should happen to someone who burned down a store?
