No. he shouldn't have been hanged, as he had not committed a crime, also no one knows if him saying "let him have it" was a way of saying give him the gun or shoot him. He shouldn't have been hanged for just saying those words and yet his friend was let of likely for shooting the policeman... it was a unfair case for bentley as he had mental problems as well making it harder for him to defend himself. However there was rumors about the judge who sentenced him to death that he actually liked his power and enjoyed using this sentence. but this was discovered long after bentleys death.
