Raising Doubts About the Hanafi School

Question
There are claims that the Hanafis are the ones who mitigated the punishment for honor crimes, citing weak evidence attributed to Umar - may Allah be pleased with him - and that they permitted the killing of an adulteress absolutely. What is the response to this?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: whoever claims this must prove it before it can be refuted, and God knows best.
