Banishment can be a much worse punishment than execution.

There’s also just throwing them in a dark small room for 40 years.

There’s plenty of things far worse than death to punish people with if your just looking to be cruel.

Death penalty like this is just a state level pr stunt and propaganda basically. Since other methods aren’t as catchy headlines.

More akin to the guy who thought he could do the job better then his boss quit in a huff and opened his own business. Then proceed to just get bought out by his old boss and now is fucked twice.
