Original Note:
A jury trial is required prior to sentencing if the sentence is >6 months [1]. Should the death sentence be passed, the convicted has the right to appeal [2]. The state can't simply "decide" to execute anyone, as they must first be charged with a serious crime [3]. 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_trial#United_Kingdom 2 https://www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/our-justice-system/jud-acc-ind/right-2-appeal/ 3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_Kingdom#Reform
