you can only use it on high crimes like treason or a public terror attack where there isnt even the slightest question who did this.

for petty murder no matter how gruesome there is always a hint of doubt and it cannot possibly be an option

@EvilFairy who decides the perpetrators and meaning of "high crime"? If we do that then Julian assange would be handed a death penalty for journalism. I would say it's a dangerous slope but we are already 3/4 of the way down
