I'm curious how they will do that gradually. Will they start with death by stoning for adulterers and female rape victims, then the next year add severing of limbs for theft, and the following year introduce flogging? Or will they start with whippings/beatings for all "crimes" and then work their way up from floggings for everyone to partial severing of limbs for theft after the first year of floggings and then complete severing a year later, and throwing a few rocks at adulterers the first year, adding an extra rock per year until the punishment is consistently fatal?
He's only mostly dead.
