No, that makes the sentence about revenge and not justice. Death by the simplest method possible that doesn't violate the cruel and inhumane standard is fine, the death is the sentence not the method.

It was more a poor attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor. Sorry for not being transparent enough...I thought stake burnings would give it away.


Although I do like the vat of boiling oil method for those who killed or raped children. Could that specific punishment be a deterrent? I don't know anyone who would want to go that way.

That kind of deviancy wouldn't be deterred I'm afraid.
