I know! Ban all gangs!
I’m in favor of indictment within one month of arrest, trial within the second month, with one expedited federal appeal to that state’s district just to be heard in the third month, which may *not* overturn the sentence, but only refer it back to the trial court for review of major errors. From that point, the only commutation or pardon may be given by that state’s governor.
And within 1 year of arrest, the sentence of execution is to be carried out without further delay, by *any* ordinary means with which the state sees fit, be it lethal injection, electrocution, the gas chamber, the firing squad, or hanging.
