“What a load of horse crap”
Exactly, we need to purge our whole legal system of the “RIghtWardHos” of this country. Absolute limits need to be placed on “appeals” of capital cases, and severely restrict what judges can do to subvert the process. The fact that convicted killers are more likely to die of old age than execution is the ultimate perversion or our “legal system.” And as was pointed out by another poster, again we find that the Congress is the guilty party.
There should be procedural appeals only. No automatic appeal or any other kind.
