※ 引述《fooking (......)》之铭言：
: 有些人的道德标准真的是宇宙最高 没有之一
: 从古至今 世界各国也没法律是偷窃者死刑的
只是想吐槽一下~~~~18世纪英国,偷窃可是有机会被判死刑的

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(英国伦敦中央刑事法院)有为数不少的18世纪判决文件显示,
当时有许多罪不至死的行为会被判处死刑(血腥法案),意味着一般百姓一
旦被法院起诉,很可能面临绞首的命运(例如因为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.
尽管法律如此规定,判决过程法官会试着让被告能获得减刑或较不严重的罪名
起诉来避免法律变成屠杀.
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.
透过部分有罪判决,陪审团让许多有罪确定的被告减轻刑罚.借由神职人员特赦
(非神职人员亦适用)与特赦让许多死刑确定的被告得以逃过一死,改处以烙印,
流放,或终身监禁.也有人因此未受到任何处罚.
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.
决定被告是被吊死或释放通常与有罪与否无关,考虑的是被告本身是否行为良好
(有悔意可教化？),犯罪的严重程度,以及证据的强度.同一时期的治安也会影响判决
(如果法官认为有犯罪潮的流行,会采取较高比例的绞刑宣判).当然,为被告权益请愿
的诉求也会被考虑在内(18世纪废死团体?)
关于血腥法案可以参考维基,很像神鬼奇航某一集开头描述集体处刑前,
大家一起唱海盗歌的情境,你是海盗-死刑,你知道谁是海盗没通报-死刑,
你卖船卖装备给海盗-死刑.
难怪当时有评论者会说这些法律只是有钱人用来欺压穷人的手段

: 照某些人的标准 那就不用刑法拉
: 只要写:偷窃 抢劫 强奸 杀人等等 通通唯一死刑 不就好了?
: 而且还是私刑 现在是西元2017 还是纪元前2000年?
