Why did Escalus not sentence Romeo to death in keeping with his speech in act 1?

The Prince knows that Benvolio is a trustworthy witness, despite what Lady Capulet has to say. He knows that Tybalt was the one looking for a fight and that Romeo tried to avoid it at first. Romeo only got involved after Mercutio's death, at which time Tybalt's life was forfeit to the law anyway by the same proclamation. All of these matters go in mitigation of the sentence, which is why the Prince does not sentence Romeo to death.
