Yes of course some courts of law has death penalty for corruption as well.

The crimes we have CP are not so small as to ignore them.. it is perfectly balanced..

A person was killed without his choice..may be he was the only son to take care of his old mom or the only person to take care of multiple human beings..

Showing sympathy towards the innocent is much better than being kind to a convicted murderer however I would change my thought if family like to pardon him.
