Is it really Justice when it takes 37 years to actually apply a death sentence issued in 1988?

There should be a streamline process to insure ALL appeals are submitted and heard in 5 years. Instead of this LawFare tactic of filing an appeal every time a new execution date is set.

Then, if still guilty, flip the switch, pull the handle, or trigger.

Abolish the lethal inject, let them be awake to see their deaths, like their victims.

Or how about, a death sentence applied in the manner they used on their victims.

#4 Ignorance of the law is no excuse....so why is insanity? Insanity, dementia, nothing like that should be relevant. The only relevant fact is: Did they commit the crime based on the evidence. Full Stop.
