For all capital cases where the death penalty is being sought, an appeals court judge should sit in the trial while it’s being conducted... After the trial is over, both sides have 90 days to appeal... If the defense can’t make their case in 90 days, then on the 91st day the convicted is put to death...

I’m a fan of “old sparky”...

In most cases, it's the appeals court that cannot hear the case in time. There would have to be time constraints on both sides. I like your 90 day suggestion. I would add on the back end, that the entire appeals process must be concluded 6 months after a defense appeal is filed. Hire more appeals judges: and they must be ELECTED. The Supreme Court shouldn't hear or have jurisdiction on single cases decided in the state.

I'm good with sparky, but electricity cost money. Rope is cheap, reusable, and works wonders for spinal realignment.
