The law of the land governs only our public life and that to a limited extent. It is not sufficient as a guide for the whole life.

Punishments based on empathy seems to be a contradiction in terms. You could say that we decide what is illegal based on empathy (though that is not accurate either), but the ensuing punishment? The empathetic thing would be not to punish them because we wouldn't want to be punished either.
