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....
