Laws, Justices and DEATH....

I found the documents interesting to read because for two reason. First, the laws for "Crime and Punishment, Justice (96)" is very intriguing. The consequences for any Law breaking either deals with jumping the cliff or death. Which some way I can understand but it seemed that the cliff was their answer for anything if someone broke the law. Then again, I  can also imagine people who will jump the cliff and just swim on to the shore and not even die. Also, death... how did they kill people who broke the laws. There isn't any specification of how to kill.

Second, the roles/responsibility/accountability if a man or woman is either unfaithful, abusive, adulteress etc is also written as a law. I thought it quite entertaining to read through them and of course--consequences for breaking the law will be "thrown into the water (97)." Again, I thought--what is the significance of throwing someone off the water if by chance they know how to swim? If they can swim then what is their other option of death?
