Death penalty in Y/N

[The Glorious Third Reign of Templedom]

OOC: This seems appropriate even though it's RP thread

Score one for the pro-death_sentence camp!!

Churchill told his Foreign Secretary: “… all concerned in this crime who may fall into our hands, including the people who only obeyed orders by carrying out these butcheries, should be put to death….” In this he was supported by Pope Pius XII who urged swift hangings at Nuremburg.

The death penalty is applied in the following crimes:
- Slaving (acquiring individuals for the purpose of illegal forced labor)
- Aggravated murder (premeditated murder combined with torture, or premeditated murder of a child)
- Serial aggravated sexual abuse (rape and torture of at least 5 individuals, or rape of at least 5 children)
- Serial murder (5 or more murders)
- High treason (active harmful assistance to a hostile entity that causes the death of Omicron Tarans, especially the death of Omicron Taran military personnel)
- Major environmental sabotage (deliberately sabotaging environmental systems with the potential to kill multiple people, even if no deaths occur)

The standard method of execution is a bullet to the head, which is considered the most efficient and cost-effective method available.

Otherwise, those with crimes of neither in the possibility of being subject to both options stated prior, will be imprisoned in a fixed time, but with negotiations of his/her camp being able to make the duration flexible.
