thorough investigations are suppose to be done for the trial that got them convicted in the first place. I’d then say five years for appeals then their done.
That's the point; appeals are fabricated on worthless/delaying arguments that should have been brought up in trial. Once convicted, the LAWYER should be the one who is charged with a crime of malpractice (but Lawyers will not sue other Lawyers).
The public desterves swift and complete justice. The victim' families are NEVER compensated or most times, not even allowed in the appeals process to testify on the harm done.
