		 People commit crimes mostly because they are not scared of the consequences... 
 
As blurry a line it is to execute someone who doesn't commit murder, I think the sentence is justified.  And many other crimes need a better punishment.  I think most people would be inclined to finally listen to their concience and not do the crime if they are going to lose a hand for stealing, or public hangings, etc.
