The fact that the justice system was so shoddy, and the fact that public executions were a form of entertainment, really makes this a distinction without a difference.

Their justice system had some amount of accuracy. Human sacrifice has no accuracy. If a distinction of degree is a distinction without a difference, then I propose that I give you 0% of my possessions in exchange for 10% of yours. ;)
