Just once I’d like to see one of these murdering scumbags last words be “Yep I did it and deserve to die, and it should have happened the day after my conviction.”
The other guy executed that day said those (almost) exact words.
There have been some that have done what you have suggested but their lawyers kept trying to get their executions stopped; until the prisoners themselves insisted that all such interventions stop. Many times the judge gives such people life without parole and not a death sentence when the person out and out confesses.

Well, the a$$hat in Texas who stomped his 3 month old to death FINALLY waived all appeals (after 16 freakin’ years), and was put to death.
In a letter submitted to US District Judge George Hanks in Houston, Mullis wrote in February that he had no desire to challenge his case any further.
Mullis, who had a long history of mental illness, previously took responsibility for his son’s death and said “his punishment fit the crime.” In the letter, Mullis said “he seeks the same finality and justice the state seeks.”
