But she promised herself to never order anything she couldn’t bear to watch.
She wondered if she could bear it.

I’ve toyed with the idea that in Equestria death sentences are only given in very particular circumstances, like if the pony is convicted and requests it as a means to quiet their guilty conscience. But this could have some odd situations arise. Ideally, really, she could just wipe their memories and then age-regress them to a foal, so to both simultaneously give their core being a second chance, while erasing from existence the part of them that committed a heinous offense. You couldn’t let ponies know you did this, however, otherwise they might even seek it out as a form of judicial suicide, and feel like they’re getting away with it.
Also I need to stop. My mind sometimes…
