He must have been taking quite a risk.

Sounds like a violation of the 8th amendment:

Once upon a time horse thieves were hanged. How is that any different than this chain of judges trying to steal this guy's plane?

Not really.
Beware of taking Hollywood movie tropes as fact.
The last person legally hanged for horse theft was in England in 1820 IIRC.
There were lynchings I think but I don’t know how rarely it happened.
