The execution framework, for me, was the weakest thing about this movie because they don't bother getting into it. I suppose it could be argued that Dr. Sovac is being executed because he deliberately killed the original Red Cannon (who was paralyzed but would definitely have pulled through) so he could use the gangster's brain to keep Prof. Kingsley alive.
Even then, would anyone be able to prove any of that, or that Kingsley was the one doing all the killings? Aside from Sovac confessing, the only real evidence would be the box of money (which could have gotten hidden fast) and Sovac's own diary. THe fact that Sovac is lugging around his diary on his way to the execution tells me it was NOT used as evidence in his trial.
That's probably more thought than necessary. ;)
