Could you put a red-hot iron to somebody’s skin? This act requires a very high level of Cruelty. I believe the sentence is appropriate for the crime.
Nelson Van Alden/George Mueller, Boardwalk Empire. Michael Shannon, while a disgusting liberal, is a great actor. Great scene.

Wouldn't shock me if they had engaged in gratuitous animal cruelty. Serial killers in training?
