... For committing a heinous crime?
FYI 'to be hanged...' is a death sentence '... by the neck until dead'
You mean to be hung: i.e. you will hang it then it will have been hung.
In the death sentence meaning - 'He will hang', then 'He will have been hanged' (not hung).
Meaningless pedantry on the meaning and definition and common usage of words maybe.
Nice sign to be hung btw....
