"The status, wealth, and political influence of the Sutherland family readily explained the unusual verdict in this case. Ralph Sutherland was convicted of the murder of his slave, but his sentence was extraordinary. He was obliged for the remander of his life to wear around his neck a halter and to appear once every year before the assembled legal body of the province. To confer upon the mockery of this condemnation some semblance of hardship and to satisfy the instinct that demands blood for blood, an unusual clause was inserted. If the accused should reach the age of ninety-nine, the extreme penalty would be invoked, and he would be hanged by the neck until dead." (from "Condemned to the Noose" by Charles A. Huguenin)
