Punishment by 'peers' must also be decided by peers, not just the guilt of a peer, and the penalties or punishments ought be proportionate between cases and between crimes.
Welp!(says the heretic) Whose going to regulate 'proportionate punishment'?
That would be written words only - guidence to the 'jury of peers', and would therefore also provide a hint to the defendant "well so and so only got X years for murder, I should get similar, and certainly not 2X".
