Alla:

But the sentence which they were doing was not for just being loyal to Voldemort, it was for what they DID in support of Voldemort? If Fudge would have done what you suggest here, wouldn't he be executing them for what they THINK and not have done yet?

I don't know, I think this is one of the things I am glad that Fudge have not done.
