I am obsessed with these customs/laws. Somewhere on ao3 someone started a fanfic with the premise of a woman marrying a man to be executed…🥰

It does sound like an example of the power of the crowd. Just also something which reminds us that the crowds are fine with "just" execution

Do you have any cases where a criminal confessed his crime to the priest but said priest was say an abbot or a bishop, who broke their confession?

I was really imagining a monty python style medieval crowd going "whoa" in unison hahaha!! Or heckling the executioner a la Brian's mum (he's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy!)
