In some countries, the executioner was charged with manslaughter during the expedited judicial process after the execution, and then acquitted. If there is or was such a practice, it well characterizes the mentioned duality: that if the interests of society so desire, one can take someone's life, but human life is an absolute value, its destruction is a sin, and this sin must be solved somehow. The same is exemplified by the practice in the American federal states, where death row prisoners are executed by poison, that not one, but three employees have needles in their hands, two have a neutral liquid, one has poison, and no one knows which hand is full of poison. needle.

"Bizonyos országokban a hóhér ellen a kivégzés után gyorsított bírói eljárás során vádat emeltek emberölésért, majd pedig felmentették. Ha van vagy volt ilyen gyakorlat, jól jellemzi az említett kettősséget: azt, hogy ha a társadalom érdekei úgy kívánják, el lehet venni valaki életét, az emberi élet azonban abszolút érték, elpusztítása bűn, s ezt a bűnt valahogy fel kell oldani. Ugyanezt példázza az a gyakorlat azokban az amerikai szövetségi államokban, ahol méreggel végzik ki a halálraítélteket, hogy nem egy, hanem három alkalmazott kezében van injekciós tű, kettőben semleges folyadék van, egyben méreg, és senki sem tudja, hogy melyik kezében van a méreggel teli tű."
