if you could change the goverment.....

One appeal for people sentenced to death row.

ONLY ONE.

With DNA evidence and higher quality CSI tools taking advantage of better technology, everyone convicted based on this type of evidence gets one appeal. The second trial with be required to take place no less than 1,000 miles from county where said crime was committed.

IMO, if you can't convince a second jury of your peers that you're innocent, then you're finished.

I would also require a time limit of 90 days for said execution to be performed, and bring back the rope-bucket-tree method. Modern executions cost thousands of dollars... Rope and a bucket can be bought for under $5.00 and they're reusable. Trees will always be free....


They're coming to take me away, ha ha....
 
Something along the lines of jfrey is saying, I would seriously expedite the execution process. I saw a special on TV about Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, a professional hitman who has admitted to killing at least 100 people. And then there is Charles Manson and the like. And murdered who have committed their crimes in front of dozens of witnesses. There is really no good reason why these people should remain on Earth. All they do is consume taxpayers money. If it is 100% certain that you are guilty of murder, like Manson or Richard Kuklinski, then they should be dead within a week or two.

I would also add people like serial child molesters and/or murders. The kind who kidnap kids, rape them and then kill them. Like jfrey says, one appeal to make sure you got the right guy. Once that appeal is over, I think they should be swinging from a gallows on the courtroom lawn that very afternoon for all to see.
