Accidental death and murder both result in someone dead. They are not similar crimes.

Accidental fraud generally isn't even a crime though...
They are not the _same_, but they are extremely similar. Do you think first and second degree murder charges are "similar"?

Feel pretty similar from the victim’s point of view.

The sentiment that sentencing is justified by retribution is the number one reason why the US criminal justice system is messed up. The concept of right-and-wrong and mens rea are inextricably one.
