Has the death penalty been used for this sort of crime before in Vietnam and has it been effective at deterring others in a measurable way?
In Vietnam? Not sure. The French seemed to have a lasting benefit from doing this to every landlord they could lay hands on in the late 1700s, though.
Has the death sentence been a deterrent for any crime?
Singapore kills drug dealers which is a bit scary.
I dunno, try it and find out?
The death penalty in this case isn't to deter future crime of the same type. It's to remove a specific type of malignant cancer from society and ensure that it can't spread to others. All of her cohorts that could be punished were sentenced for a range of time and a fine as is appropriate.
