Being put to death for false accusations, having your tongue cut out for insulting someone, having your hands cut off for giving the wrong kind of haircut and being thrown into a fire for looking upon someone else's property, they are all punishments found in the Code of Hammurabi. Compared to other kings, most historians agree that Hammurabi was a just King. Having harsh laws don't make the king a bad person.
