For all of you that are saying the criminal should not be entitled to an appeals process: have you not seen the hundreds of inmates who have been released after serving 20 years in prison because DNA evidence finally proved them innocent?
Also, you can talk big and bad about not losing a wink of sleep over sentencing someone to be put to death but I would be willing to bet that is not the case after you sit in a courtroom for multiple weeks looking at this human in the eye before being given that responsibility.
All of that being said, I do believe in the death penalty. I just pray that my country never asks me to make that kind of a decision.
