I do get your reasons behind your opinion...but the film portrays it as being divine punishment. And you're treating it as if he tortured Wharton to death. The film and book portray what happens to Wetmore as karmic. The point is, Wetmore abused his power on a daily basis. By punishing Wetmore, no other inmate would be made to suffer.

You're ignoring the fact that Coffey wouldn't hurt a fly. Theoretically speaking, he would not kill because of the pain it would cause him. I understand your rejection...but a pedophilic monster was killed, which meant that the two girls got their justice. Are you trying to say that monster shouldn't have died?
