If they had not waited 29 years, he would have been executed in his mid-50s. Instead, taxpayers paid to keep him in prison for almost 30 years.
Those receiving death sentences for heinous crimes should be permitted no more than TWO appeals during a TWO year period after the sentence and, if appeals are denied, then executed.
It isn’t really fair to the condemned to keep them on death row for years and years, and it sure as hell isn’t fair to the taxpayers to have to pay to keep them in prison for years and years. Only the attornies seem to benefit from this arrangement?
