Its just a game and no one needs to be stuck in the brig for the whole round for stealing something. Well unless you ask them if they wanna stay in the brig. Then you can RP some stuff.
As I said I don't know what should be written in Space Law but without it there is no reason to believe or to expect the things that "should" happen actually happen.
It might also be worth mentioning that wiki suggests a 5 minute brig time for killing someone who can't be cloned.

You still aren't going to know that for sure, even if there's a checklist. How much does Sec know you did? How thoroughly do they check you for contraband? How much is going on and how overloaded are they? How do you act while you're being detained and searched? If they do say execution, do they just space you? (You might still get back.) Do they crusher you? (Probably not.)
In general, if you have been murdering: expect execution. If you are a nonhuman and act threatening: expect execution. If you try to kill an officer: expect execution.
If you think Sec is jumping to execution too quick: ahelp it.
This information isn't represented on the wiki and most certainly not in the game. Most articles like the one you showed seem to really want officers to avoid executing someone unless they are actively killing people in the moment. There some more to unpack here but I'd just say that if I saw a fellow officer kill someone for "threatening" them I'd take their badge and a-help.
