[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3229691, member: 29267"] Due process is kind of important, and another constitutional right. Appeals can take time, especially with courts clogged with victimless drug possession cases. Unless someone confessed to a capital offense and hasn’t recanted, I want it to take as long as it needs to to make sure we got it right before they’re executed. There have been too many people exonerated while on death row to handle it any other way. And a lot of them were put there in times when investigatory standards, forensic techniques, etc. had even more critical flaws than they have now. Remember bite mark analysis? Complete sham “science” used to lock up tons of people, many of who are still in prison today, even though we now know bite mark analysis doesn’t work, even a little bit (accuracy is something like 3%).
