The great thing about the UK justice system is that you have to have a trial before you end up convicted and then in prison. Whilst I agree with your sentiments that:
1. It is good in general for the country not to pay for trials; and
2. It is good in general for the country not to pay for long-term imprisonment
I do not think that we can sit here in the comfort of our chairs and
1. Confirm that Moat was guilty, on the basis of having seen all the evidence and taking the soundings of twelve good and true men; and
2. Come up with the appropriate sentencing - of death.
Like it or not, we live in a modern society where mob rule does not apply. Moreover, we live in a society where Parliament that we have elected has agreed that there is no capital punishment.
If you don't like it, then move to the Wild West and hand out justice yourself.
