Be careful — it may be a grace of God that the system is as careful as it is. The story of these growing safeguards is one where a conviction that was just one step shy of an execution was found to be hideously wrong. And so, wishing to preserve innocent lives, the system adds another layer of caution.
Such a quick and easy tumbrel as you envision could turn on you if rabid liberals every seize control of it.
I honestly believe that our system is not ‘careful’, rather it is stupid!
No one gets hanged without a proper trial that passes judicial scrutiny, but then that bastard gets hanged!
