I think the real issue is why 27 years on death row?

So he and his lawyers could waste time and taxpayer dollars trying to appeal the decision because there might be a one out of a hundred percent chance he might have been innocent.
That's why I'm against appeals. They're colored as a way to ensure innocent people don't go to jail or death row, but nowadays they're used to waste money and postpone the criminal's punishment. If a lawyer can't prove his client is innocent at trial, then that should be the end of it. The criminal has the ability to fire his lawyer if he believes his lawyer isn't up to the task, so it falls on no one but the criminal if he's found guilty.
