Hmmm good point. Though, would people even approach him to talk to him if he had the brand?

I do kind of see your point, though. It might have been easier just to extract information from him, then have him executed. Also, after some thought I looked at the entry On Branding Heretics, and it says, "''The Heretic Brand is reserved for those Overseers who have committed heinous acts against the order, but have not broken codes that would otherwise result in execution." Aiding and abbetting a high profile criminal is probably'' a high crime, so yeah, it seems like they could probably just have him executed.

Doesn't the Overseer who's taunting Martin when you first walk up say something like that? About how they know that he helped Corvo escape and they want the names of his associates? Or perhaps I just assumed that, because there's an Overseer in the library that you can hear mumbling about Martin being connected to Corvo's escape.
