The reason it takes so long? It is a long march through our prison system/Justice system. The longer it takes, it makes us that much closer to the world we have today. Rampant violence, because the punishment is now long stretches in the pen, instead of hanging by the neck until dead. 2 weeks MAX
Exactly!
The death penalty is not nor ever has been a deterrent.
It just insures pleas to life without parole instead of life with parole.
But hey with 20,000 or so annual homicides in a nation of 375million people-we need to get this rampant violence under control!
How many times have we read convicted killer rapist was freed by parole board and judge and then he or she did it again. Those who made that decision should suffer the same fate
