Yeah, like they do in china, were 150 crimes carried the death penalty, verdict and sentencing is passed at the same time, execution is carried out within 2 hours of the sentenceing by an assault rifle shot to the back of the head, and the family of the executed is billed for the cost of the execution, with a line item on the invoice called "bullet fee", which I understand is 20 cents.
Also in china, often if you are charged with a capital crime you are good as executed. The accused show up at their trial stylishly, as oppose to formally, dressed so as to look presentable when their bodies are handed over to their relatives
before end of the day.
Looking forward to this system, are we?
Well the billing part seems a bit extreme. On the plus side its not too expensive.....
