Automatic life sentence
The concern expressed regarding the curse resulting in an automatic life sentence is not that the punishment is unjust, but rather that it is presented as having no possible mitigating circumstances. We don't automatically throw police in jail if they happen to have to use their service weapons in the line of duty. Likewise, should an auror be sent to Azkaban if the Avada Kedavra curse is the only thing that he can use in the line of duty? Certainly if he is unjustified in that level of the use of force... but according to the way it is written, justification is never going to be accepted. Chazz (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
