For those who might feel the death penalty is extreme, I suggest the perps being placed in stocks in front of the local court house for 30 days to allow the public to throw rotten foodstuffs at them 24/7. Those foodstuffs (and gloves) will be provided to the public.

It is extreme, but so is murder and treason, which is why any lesser penalty is ineffective as a deterrent to such criminal behavior.
