These three types of criminals - murderers, traitors and terrorists - will from now on be summarized by the expression "murderer".

One who has been convicted of grave assault (or manslaughter, or brutal rape), who has served a punishment, and has gone through treatment, and after that is convicted of grave assault again, should be sentenced to death.
