How will accelerating the Execution of Convicted Mass killers solve anything at all?
The U.S. Government hasn’t even tried the planners of the 9-11 attack that killed over 3000 Americans.What has taken so long?
If we’d had this law, even the planners would have been tried and executed long before now.
That said, we’ve done a pretty good job of stopping anything of that scale that is planned from abroad, but not a good job on stopping mass killings in general, either by jihadists or nutcases. So immediate trial and execution would certainly clarify the minds of any potential copycats.
SIMPLE.= It’s because their lawyers have been all to successful in repeatedly postponing the trial.
The longer that a trial is postponed (for a thousand possible/specious reasons) the less likely that the trial will ever occur.
I once worked on a “homicide by motor vehicle” case that was postponed until ALL of the witnesses, the original arresting officer & even the DA had died or “disappeared without a trace”.
The case was finally dismissed.
(Shortly thereafter, the defendant died of a massive stroke, too.)
