We used to do that to spies.

First he is not being charged with espionage.



FSecond we would have to find evidence that his betrayal actually did result in deaths and also prove that those same people would not have died without the betrayal.


A pretty tough case to prove.



Even Aldrich Ames, whose betrayal was demonstrated to have caused the execution of at least 10 sources was not given the death penalty. We have to settle for him rotting to death in a cage.
