“Chavez has been on death row appealing his case for 18 years”

There’s something very very wrong with that IMO.

“I’m from Texas and in Texas we have the death penalty and we use it. That’s right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy. Right now there’s a bill in the Texas legislature that would speed up the execution process of those convicted of a heinous crime with more than three credible witnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did you don’t sit on death row for 15 years Jack, you go straight to the front of the line. Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty. My state’s puttin in an express lane.”

I wish Pennsylvania had that attitude. We have death row inmates who live out their lives...at taxpayer expense. 18 years on death row is a short time here.. Some have been on death row 30 or more years.

I think this is the most admirable way of dealing with it. If this had been applied in the cases of Bundy and Gacey, there is no way it would have taken as long as it did to get them popping up daisies.
