If all this is based on one's morals, then it doesn't (or maybe even shouldn't) hold water in this conversation (seeing as though morality isn't a fixed concept). One man's yin is another man's yang, etc.

One essential part of this discussion is to come to terms with what morality and ethics can be agreed upon.

But that's the thing: in many instances, it can't be agreed upon. For instance, someone may say, "Killing is wrong...period..all kinds of killing". Someone else will say, "No, killing in self defense and the death penalty is not wrong". Another might say, "Self defense is ok, but abortion and the DP is wrong", and so forth. I would imagine that these opinions would be based (in some part) on each person's moral fiber (or ethics).

I'd like to see someone go up to the victim's family and tell them that they are "wrong" for wanting a more tougher penalty.
