Your country France doesn't allow the death penalty.

The death penalty existed in France until 1979.

Quote:

In the United States, a jury recently voted life imprisonment, instead of death, for Zacarias Moussaoui, who had wanted to be part of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, in the United States. So, depending on the crime and the views of the people, some crimes aren't punished by death.

There is a difference between not executing people and punishing them. If Nacedo and Cal were punished for their past actions, then they should have been sent to jail, or on exile on a far away planet, but not sent with the precious royal family. I don't see Moussaoui being "punished" for his crimes by walking freely around the survivors of the terrorist attack in 2001. On the contrary, he has been sent in jail for the rest of his life. Now, that's logical.

Quote:

Kal and Nasedo were punished on Antar for interfering in King Zan's life.

Where, in the show, was it said that Kal and Nacedo, in their previous lives, did such a thing ? That they didn't like their king, why not ? I don't like the french president, either. But I don't remember them saying that they had done something to the king, on Antar, which got them punished.

Quote:

They were programmed to obey him, if they ever directly and personally interfered in his life again.

Or maybe they were programmed because it was the tradition ? Like the eunuchs with the women of the harem, in the mueslin countries.

Quote:

Neither Kal nor Nasedo were given a death sentence, either because their crimes hadn't been bad enough to warrant a death sentence, or because their justice system didn't allow the death penalty.

Are we talking about the show or a fanfic

? Because I don't remember where, in the show, Nacedo and Kal said that they had been some kind of criminals or rebels who had been punished by being sent to Earth with the R4.

The problem I have with Nacedo is that the guy was killed by the skins. Didn't Whittaker say so ? So why kill a guy who is on their side ? Unless he was never on their side. He might not have liked the R4 or the humans, but he told them NOT TO use the orbs because of the enemies they might alert. He was killed by his so-called allees. There is something fishy, here. That's just not logical.
