Jeez. Even the condemned know that California is too slow on executions.
Used to be a time when justice wasn't this slow. Consider the Lincoln assassination occurred on April 15, 1865. Just 83 days later, on a sweltering July day, the co-conspirators were hung. Within days of their conviction, the gallows were built in the prison yard (the condemned could actually hear the hammers from their cells) and they were also buried in the very same yard.
And this was considered a "long and involved" trial at the time!
