That sounds even worse. European laws have gone very soft over the last century.
I think one of the reasons why capital punishment was removed in Europe was due to the Enlightenment ending all the Trials by Ordeals which lasted for centuries in Europe, which resulted in thousands of Europeans being tortured to death for centuries over religious and superstitious beliefs in the churches (and the churches were the supreme law of the land prior to the age of reason, science and the enlightenment which ended the religious tortures and trials by ordeals across Europe which was used for centuries to determine a persons supposed innocence or guilt, and fairer trials were then held in courts following the enlightenment).
I think it's due to the amount of people who were tortured to death across Europe for petty offences and superstitious beliefs has now created a fear of Europe returning to capital punishment because of the way this system was abused in the past across Europe.
