Yes, perhaps better would be less time + public burning at the stake (or reverse the order), especially in extreme cases where innocents were damaged severely and there is little doubt that the prosecution is unfair.
Our society sometimes looks like something Charles Dickens wrote about (or worse). Bringing back the old punishments (drawing & quartering, hanging, etc.) might help, but I doubt it.
