2 appeals or 3 years, whichever comes 1st. then you die- simple.
I figure if DNA proof is good enough to free someone on “death row” in a month or less (like they have on the “Innocence Project”), it should likewise be good enough to execute someone in a month.
I'm not as comfortable with that approach as I once was.
Having dealt with overzealous or outright corrupt LEOs and prosecutors, and given the number of cases where they have flat out targeted the wrong guy and forced the evidence to fit their theories... I'm not quite so gung-ho about it.
Oh, and planting DNA evidence isn't very hard either, if someone was inclined to do such a thing.
Determining guilt remains a mostly difficult and error-prone task.
