According to the film Mary’s crime was that the conspirators used her boarding home to meet and create the plan without her knowledge. They hanged her as a conspirator with the others. Don’t know how accurate the film was, but seems like she was hung just to help satisfy the nations need of a scape goat

Man they sure dont treat conspirators like they used to. Especially ones who destabilize government.

Not the death penalty’s biggest fan, but I’ll admit to a little bit of nostalgia on that particular point.

It gets tricky there doesn’t it?

I am against the death penalty.

This person commited treason against a just government.

I agree with your reply, it still leaves me conflicted though.

Well, the next question would be, “what’s the alternative?” Is lifelong incarceration better?

The way I see it, treason DESERVES the death penalty, but it shouldn’t ever be levied unless there is no other choice (ie a strong possibility of them being sprung, pardoned, or otherwise escape a life sentence by help of their fellow traitors).

Sometimes you don’t give people what they deserve because of what it does to you, not because of what it does to them.
