If we take it as a given that people spend large parts of their lives, mostly forced (as in they would not work if they didn't have to), we can see money as being a direct representation of human life.
If someone stole X dollars, you could extrapolate it to entire lives that were stolen. How many suicides happen over money for this very reason?
Making a case for the death penalty given those priors is not hard, especially for stealing from the impoverished.
