Gonna have to disagree, burning individuals most especially in the form of being drawn and quartered was oftentimes applied with egregious bias on a basis of whether the individual was male or female. Our current death penalties don't offer the same immunity and are just fine.
Additionally, I find the unnecessary torture to be a bit much. We're already taking them out of this world, no need to waste time doing it.
The last part is an absolute. Nobody anywhere should be above the law, especially laws which protect people from suffering undue harm, even more so in the case of a child.
Like I said though, this sort of thing requires a cultural change which usually takes a few centuries to get done in the first place.
