What is the fine for horse stealing?

Answer 1

The penalty for horse theft in the state of Florida is death by hanging...

This is an outdated law that has not been enforced since the late 1890's

While it remains on the Florda laws books the Death penalty for horse theft has been ruled cruel and unusual punishment and is no longer enforcable under Federal Laws..

In 1923, the Florida Legislature passed a law replacing hanging with the electric chair...

Currently, Florida's only capital crimes are:

First-degree murder

Felony murder

Capital drug trafficking ((however Due to the Supreme Court case Coker v. Georgia in 1977, only those convicted of murder may receive the death penalty.))Death for Capital drug trafficking is no longer enforced.

Floridas only forms of execution are lethal injection and electricution since 1979 only 69 criminals have been executed all by electrocution/lethal injection non of which have been horse theives...

The current penalty for horse theft in Florida is fines and or jail time...

Answer 2

Covered in California Penal Code 487A, Grand Carcass Theft. It can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the worth of the horse. The penalty CAN be as high as 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Answer 3

At one time horse stealing was a capital offence (i.e. death penalty usually by hanging).

It is still probably more than just a fine, but the actual penalty will depend on the jurisdiction where the crime was committed (and sometimes the mood of the judge hearing the case that day).
