I wouldn't describe criminal behavior as unusual as the legal definition defined by case law is "rarely done". And the 8th amendment is a proportionality test dealing w/the punishment fighting the crime and the culpability of the offender thus the importance of looking to the intent of the perpetrator. It's why we have degrees of murder.
