"The only thing that would be close to justice in his case is a public hanging and be a good example to others. OK. But first one week in the STOCKS. medievalcrimeandpunishment.wetpaint.com "Once a person was at the stocks they were " at the mercy of the mob". Once the accused was at the stocks the crowd would pelt them with literally anything that could fit in their hands. The crowd threw vegetables and fruit that were rotten, mud, dead rodents especially rats, excrement and stones. The individual not only suffered humiliation, abuse and mockery but also the pain of not been able to move. Some individuals even had their ears nailed to the stocks to prevent them moving even more. Sometime in order to avoid the rotten vegetables and other items that were thrown at them, the accused would move and in the process rip their ears, which was extremely painful."
