I agree. The problem is the lawyers who prolong the process for decades, using strategically timed appeals up until the eleventh hour, while taxpayers are paying for internet service, plasma TV rooms, better food than most inmates ever had in their lives, college education of inmates at taxpayer expense, etc.
Lynching served a purpose, and when caught in the act, towns knew what to do with the perp's.
