For starters its hard to gauge just how much power was behind that spell due to it hitting Twilight's shield and nothing else. The streaks of magical energy coursing along the sides of the shield could be of killing strength or merely powerful enough to incapacitate a group of ponies but a magical beam that can dig into the ground DEEPLY could EASILY pierce flesh and kill anypony it hit.
I DO NOT believe Starlight's redemption was okay, in fact, I feel it was BS but UNLIKE COZY, she didn't have any blatantly obvious attempts to kill anypony. Cozy Glow on the other hand, tried killing Twilight and co not once BUT TWICE, when she trapped them in Tartarus on the eve of magic supposed to be vanishing from equestria which meant that (and this is assuming this prison provides food and nourishment via magic) she had, for intents and purposes left the main six TO STARVE TO DEATH in Tartarus.
On top of all this, Cozy Glow never gave Twilight a chance to offer her redemption and the one time she had, she threw it back in her face.

There was no attempt to throw her in tartarus at this point, it wasn't until she disregarded everything Twilight had said and tried to run off that she was then captured and imprisoned.
Those acts, to me, show she is beyond redemption.
