It is true that the death sentence will probably not be carried out if
the criminals show any remorse over the affair but it could be. If
they are convicted and given a death sentence which is later commuted

The Swiss inadvertantly came up with the proper death penalty. They
busted some buy for a white collar crime. They put him in a cell in a
disused wing of the building. They then lost the paperwork, and forgot
him. When they found him months later he was long dead.
