Immediate execution.
Public.
Why immediate? Let him...linger.
Here’s what will actually happen:
pre-trial manuvering: 1 year
the trial itself: maybe 2 months
wait on death row during standard appeals: 10 years
more appeals from fringe legal groups: 1 year
So the murderer gets executed maybe 12 years after the crime. Same thing will happen in the Fort Hood case. That’s an insult to the victim, the jury, and the country.
And it becomes next to useless as a deterent.
