※ 引述《fooking (......)》之銘言：
: 有些人的道德標準真的是宇宙最高 沒有之一
: 從古至今 世界各國也沒法律是偷竊者死刑的
只是想吐槽一下~~~~18世紀英國,偷竊可是有機會被判死刑的

The Death Penalty and Mitigating Circumstances
A large number of eighteenth-century statutes specified death
as the penalty for minor property offences (the "bloody code"),
meaning that the vast majority of the people tried at the Old
Bailey could be sentenced to hang (one could be executed for
stealing a handkerchief or a sheep).
Old Bailey(英國倫敦中央刑事法院)有為數不少的18世紀判決文件顯示,
當時有許多罪不至死的行為會被判處死刑(血腥法案),意味著一般百姓一
旦被法院起訴,很可能面臨絞首的命運(例如因為偷手帕或羊而被吊死)
Nevertheless, judicial procedures prevented a blood bath by
ensuring that sentences could be mitigated, or the charge redefined
as a less serious offence.
儘管法律如此規定,判決過程法官會試著讓被告能獲得減刑或較不嚴重的罪名
起訴來避免法律變成屠殺.
Through partial verdicts, juries reduced the charges against many
convicted defendants. Through the mechanisms of benefit of clergy
and pardons many more defendants found guilty of a capital offence
were spared the death penalty and sentenced instead to punishments
such as branding, transportation, or imprisonment. Many received
no punishment at all.
透過部分有罪判決,陪審團讓許多有罪確定的被告減輕刑罰.藉由神職人員特赦
(非神職人員亦適用)與特赦讓許多死刑確定的被告得以逃過一死,改處以烙印,
流放,或終身監禁.也有人因此未受到任何處罰.
In making the decisions that determined whether a defendant was killed
or released regardless of guilt, consideration was given to the defendant's
character, the nature of the offence, the strength of the evidence
against him or her, the state of crime at the time (a higher proportion
were actually hanged if the court thought a ‘crime wave’ was in process),
and, occasionally, the status of those who petitioned on the defendant's
behalf.
決定被告是被吊死或釋放通常與有罪與否無關,考慮的是被告本身是否行為良好
(有悔意可教化？),犯罪的嚴重程度,以及證據的強度.同一時期的治安也會影響判決
(如果法官認為有犯罪潮的流行,會採取較高比例的絞刑宣判).當然,為被告權益請願
的訴求也會被考慮在內(18世紀廢死團體?)
關於血腥法案可以參考維基,很像神鬼奇航某一集開頭描述集體處刑前,
大家一起唱海盜歌的情境,你是海盜-死刑,你知道誰是海盜沒通報-死刑,
你賣船賣裝備給海盜-死刑.
難怪當時有評論者會說這些法律只是有錢人用來欺壓窮人的手段

: 照某些人的標準 那就不用刑法拉
: 只要寫:偷竊 搶劫 強姦 殺人等等 通通唯一死刑 不就好了?
: 而且還是私刑 現在是西元2017 還是紀元前2000年?
