Didn"t want the person being executed to suffer and so restricted it to poison by the hemlock tree. Brutality depending on the kind of offense. Crucifiction: has happened as recently as 1997 yemen two convicted murderers died this way because of rising crime this was done in public. After the fall of the romans was a period of spirituality, superstition, and political strife. Trial by ordeal: the mercy of god will save the person. If you drowned, you were a witch, burning, pain, etc if you were healed or saved, that means you were innocent/ god was on your side. Last execution was in 1992 in canada, executed in mexico. Polarized the death penalty in canada about the difference of canadian culture vs us us should not be able to kill a canadian. Electricution in the us because it did not show harm to the body. However, problems with this led to lethal injection.
