They deserve it, based on their actions, what they would continue to do, what they've done etc.
I'd spare their lives if it was in my power, but if not, it is their fault for their death.

He claimed he believes all lives are equal, and has clearly demonstrated he does not. If you value the life of one over the lives of two, under any circumstances, you do not believe all lives are equal.
Their lives are equal, but their actions are not. Based on their actions, he would prefer to save the innocent person over two criminals. This does not subtract from the value of life.
