Once again, so much for that “speedy trial” stuff in the Constitution.
This is why death penalty “doesn’t work” according to liberals and libertarians.
First it takes forever to get to trial, then forever to be offed. In all that time, the “punishment” loses its deterrence.
It took about 6 mos total for John Brown to go from felonious action to execution. If executions were swift, the DP would have PLENTY deterrence.
Oops, make that 3 mos.
These people have no US Constitutional Rights.
