Capital punishment: Difference between revisions

Humanity is not the only species to administer the death penalty. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] punish various infractions of varying degrees with death: captured prisoners are executed once their usefulness has ended<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Sierra 117]]''</ref>; incompetent [[Unggoy]] are brutally killed, or even fed to [[Kig-yar|Jackals]]<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page ??''</ref>; leaders responsible for military failures, such as [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, are publicly humiliated and executed<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ('''[[Prophet of Truth]]''': "The [[High Council|Council]] decided to have you hung by your entrails and your corpse paraded through the city.)</ref>; and [[heretics]] and other dissidents are silently assassinated by Covenant Loyalists<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level [[Uprising]]</ref>. The Covenant seem more free in dispensing their form of justice, often without any form of trial other than a public shame inquisition, and use them as opportunities to serve as examples to others who would follow in their footsteps, of the consequences of those who fail or oppose the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] and their followers.
