Did you mean, "Now days it "COULD NOT" get you a lethal injection?
Just a small note. The days when it was imperative to hang horse thieves, back then, when you stole another man's horse, you took away his livelihood, his way to make a living. If he was camped out in the wilderness and woke up to a missing horse, it could become a matter of life and death. It was a case of contributing to another mans inability to survive in that wilderness.
If you stole someone horse today, including a prized race horse, you basically take away someone's hobby.
Trying to compare morality and criminal activity out of context is inconsequential. Long term morality issues, in time, do eventually change laws to reflect the times and its effected varied societies.
Even today, in some parts of the globe, the behavior of what the characters on Grimm committed, could mean jail time. In a few places, for women, even justified killings.
Going back to the question of the thread, "Greenwalt & Kouf are morally indifferent writers", by Hexenadler.
Who's moral standards are you looking to use? Yours? Theirs? Ours???????
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
