In past times, if convicted of patricide, the French would chop off the right hand of the convicted before taking him directly to be guillotined.
They’ve got it in their DNA. Time to bring it back.

Well, at least they didn’t make them suffer...

Unlike the USA the French do use torture. But you need a court order—I bet it will not be hard to get one today.
