yes, this is the solution of some crazy ugly crimes like this.

Gypsy, such a crime can change your mind about the death penalty. it's some times the cure since some criminals will not respond to any rehabilitation programs. it's in their genes

Iphone999, the idea of this penalty is not only the criminal. yes he'll die and that's all. but it will be a good lesson for all the society. I can't believe if some one steal and lost his hand will repeat it and neither the viewers. right?
