You would think that the determining factor for a Robber to shot you would be if they thought that you would be able to identify them.


If you are shot and Killed with no one to witness or other compelling Evidence who did it is unlikely the Robber would even be suspected of the Crime let alone be convicted of it. So a varation in Prison time would mean nothing.
