I've heard one suggestion is that in every death penalty case have the appeals judge sit and observe the trial so he knows what actually happened rather than what some shyster lawyer claims happened in the court room five years after the fact.

That's easily enough done by sending him the court transcripts. Or having capital trials video-taped and archived.
