fallacy# 2 is my favorite. The only reason it costs more
to execute than life in prison is because the same people
who are opposed to capital punishment are in favor of unlimited appeals. It's like saying you can't cross the ocean because it's too expensive .(because the ONLY way to
cross it is by building a giant bridge)
Limit appeals to 2 appeals in 5 years or whichever comes 1st-out of time, out of luck.
The only appeal should be heard by a court of judges, confirming the evidence, and the affirming the sentence. If the guy is caught in the act, why should there be an appeal? Should he be freed, if some clerk typed the wrong words? Bravo Sierra...
