There is plenty of evidence that capital punishment stifled civilisation due to errors and chilling effects. Examples: Hypatia of Alexandria, Bruno, Galilei, Hausmannin, Vavilov https://damienrourke.medium.com/the-murder-of-hypatia-the-coming-of-the-spiritual-dark-ages-cd559e384c1f https://historycollection.com/40-real-people-executed-for-witchcraft/ https://catholic.heritage-history.com/index.php?s=study-info&f=catholic_culture&h=science&type=martyrs#:~:text=By%20far%20the%20worst%20oppressor,was%20arrested%20on%20unspecified%20charges.
