I never said anything about "no trial", I said that murder and exile are the only two effective sentences for people like slavers. There's no amount of "personal rehabilitation" that excuses it.

Long prison sentences are unnecessarily cruel and a net drain on resources. The only reason to forgive slave-owners is if you're grandfathering them into a new nation-state and offering amnesty under threat of death for their participation.
