The penalty for horse theft in the US can vary from county to county, but in most places it carries the same sentencing as Grand Theft. In some places it is still legal for a horse thief to be tried by a court and hanged for the crime.

Is it legel to hang someone for horse theft in minnesota?

Being the laws for certain types of theft will vary greatly the best thing to do would be to contact a local attorney that specializes in theft of property. However in most areas horse theft is considered grand theft and is punishable by the laws pertaining to grand theft. The typical sentence is jail time, community service, and fines. In areas where horse theft is punishable by hanging (such as Texas) the accused suspect must still be arrested and go before a legal court system.
