Well, in that case there would had to be a very swiftly going appeal system. As far as I know, the court system in USA is very slow. If you limited the stay on death row for one year, many of those condemned wouldn't see their appeal. Which doesn't sound right, does it?
Yes, I agree that this train of thought makes sense in some cases where there is no question, but not if you or the person has been falsely convicted like we have seen in other cases. It would make more sense if all evidences was allowed to be presented and if there were consequences to prosecutors if they were found to withhold evidence a/o other BS.
Why do people that do these terrible killings get to have their rights met, and to live a longer life, while the innocent one(s) who lost their lives are no longer?!!!
Not sure, but I think it has something to do with due process. I agree, it seems completely unfair, but the process has its purpose (although 30 years on death row seems completely insane to me). Putting someone to death is a huge, weighty consideration no matter how much it’s deserved, and we want to make sure the justice system isn’t indiscriminately putting people to death. There is a difference between fairness and justice.
The average stay on death row costs the taxpayers $23 million over 15-20 years while they’re waiting, so Fratta cost us $34.5 million. Theres something seriously wrong with our justice system.
Americans only ones in first world country that have death penalty - crazy system and the whole process costs major bucks to your country - they r only first world country doing this crazy punishment still in 2024 ...Abominable
What about the innocent people who get exonerated after years and years on death row? There's a reason people are on death row for such a long time, and that is so they can exhaust all their legal actions. This is to prevent the death penalty from being carried out in a way where the wrong people die
4:00 Fratta's case has been well known among true crime fans partly because of how he behaved upon being released after his initial interrogation: that wink and smile. He was a subject of A&E's old American Justice series, Dateline/48 Hours, and a Werner Herzog documentary. How he behaved after his initial release was truly appalling. Rather than acting like someone knowing he's the lead suspect in a capital murder case and/or a concerned father worried about his children's trauma over losing their mother, he acted like he had just won the lottery (and in Fratta's twisted mind he undoubtedly thought he had just won his version of one: full custody, no child support payments and vengeance upon an ex who had exposed his disgusting sexual perversions.)
A lot like Drew Peterson, who killed two of his wives. He initially shunned the media, but then grew to LOVE the attention it was giving him. Both of these dudes were complete psychos.
Just because someone does not behave in a manner you consider to be "normal" does not, nor should it, imply any form of guilt. This case was not based on any concrete evidence, and the death penalty should never be used for such cases.
The media keeps referring to him as a "Former Houston Police Officer" or a "Houston area Police Officer." He was NEVER a POLICE OFFICER. He was a "Police Service Officer." A glorified clerk at the front desk of a station taking in certain types of walk-in reports.

Fratta, Scott Peterson, Jodi Arias are examples of people who appear 'normal' in most ways but are lacking the ability to experience compassion, empathy and reason, i.e., psychopaths. As terrifying as it is to most of us, this extreme abnormality is rather common. It's just that most psychopaths figure out ways to remain undetected. I've seen psychopathic behaviors virtually everywhere, albiet usually 'contained'. It just takes a certain set of events to push such people into deadly behaviors.

In less than 7 hours, this man will not be breathing or walking the earth ever again. Hard to believe and what a shame... He had the looks and the charm, but made a horrible decision that cost him his freedom for 27 years and now his life. Too many men think child support or supporting a family is the worst thing that can happen to them and that some of them are ready to kill over such a thing is astoundingly disturbing. (i.e., Fratta, Peterson, Watts, Abulaban, and countless others). This should be a lesson to all men: if you don't want to support children with your hard-earned money or risk a divorce, then don't get married and have kids. Travel the world, spend all of your money on yourselves, and have all the sexual liaisons you want without bringing a woman and child into it all. Children deserve loving, dedicated, responsible, selfless fathers.
@@BigMamaDaveX Some women bring it onto themselves by winning vicious divorce settlements. The ho will literally gut the man of almost everything and hence gets killed.

This reminds me of another case Ray Curruth, a football player who was found guilty of hiring a hit man to kill the mother of his unborn child. He got released back in 2018. His child ended up surviving but had many impairments. I will never understand how our justice system works. One guy who committed virtually the same crime yet gets to walk away scott free while another gets the death penalty. The Ray Curruth guy was actually directly involved in the murder where he took her to the movies and told her to follow him back to her house, but they never made it to his house because while she followed him a car pulled up beside her and shot into her vehicle while he stayed there basically blocking her in. In my opinion, that guy deserved the death penalty too... But hey thats another case.
Why wasnt it a DP trial? I don't know the case but did the state this occurred in have the DP.? idk what happened in that case. I dont live in the USA so will have to research it. Agree - it's often not fair though, it sounds terrible...
The law is what ever your state prosecutor has the time or conviction for to uphold in court and whatever your local police force wants to enforce. That simple and that arbitrary.
It’s unfortunately not uncommon. Prisoners are entitled to appeals. I’m pretty sure average stay on death row is atleast 10-15 years don’t quote me. The night stalker remember him? He died in prison but was on Death row for well over 20 years.
I've been asking the same question, WHY do those accused of murder remain in jail for sometimes decades??? They have a bed to sleep in, food, possibly exercise, etc.? Humanity needs to go back a few centuries when the custom was they die when the verdict gets handed down! No appeals! That's NOT inhuman, that's their consequences for their choices!
People have been found guilty of murders and put on death row then were PROVEN to be innocent. Sometimes years and years later. Innocent people have been legally murdered because of the death penalty. For these reasons, there shouldn’t even be a death penalty.
So true I was thinking the same thing! Many cases where people were even sent to prison for a crime they did not commit only to find out decades later that they were innocent!😵💫
They absolutely drag the family of murder victims thru the ringer with these death sentences that last 30, 40, 50 years. Legal loopholes that help the murderer avoid justice
I pray for the children this man left without a mother yet they still love their father. Especially back then because they couldn’t understand what was going on. Dad was still dad to them. I hope they have peace in their hearts, though it would be hard to were it me.
The children of course are grown up now and would have much time to deal with this subject. I can't imagine they could share any lasting love for their father given his cold blooded premeditated actions to have their mother killed. They would have learned what a monster their father was and hopefully have come to terms with that by now. It is my hope that they have forged their own identities as good socially responsible adults through the love and kindness of relatives or other positive caregivers.
LOL this guy's been on death row my entire life. That's ridiculous. If you get the death penalty it should be carried out ASAP. I don't understand why the system keeps these murderers alive for decades. The victim or their families don't get all that extra time.
Yup our tax dollars are feeding these monsters. If this were Russia they would of taken him out back the courthouse at the first guilty verdict and be done with it. If it were China his organs would have been donated to law abiding citizens and he be in a dumpster.
Laws need to change asap. If you get the death penalty you should be dead in a matter of 3-6 months. Just enough time to file paperwork & get everything ready. WTH? Use all that money to help people that needs it instead of wasting it on murderers. Insane
His poor wife. Sorry but why 30 years on death row? Your ability to appeal should end after 5 years. If they get to live for 30 years, even in isolation what is the point of death row.
Why was the confession unlawful? The conversations while in jail should be able to be used. There is no privacy issue there. Inmates know phonecalls are recorded.
Looking up Texas law, attorneys get $3,500 per appeal in capital cases. The lawyers couldn’t care less for the criminal except the criminals are cash cows for them.
Fun fact : His sister, Jill Fratta, is the widow of the late Randall Adams, the exonerated man from the acclaimed documentary 'A Thin Blue Line' made by Erroll Morris.
Another fact, Doug Mulder was the prosecutor who ( wrongly ) convicted Adams and Mulder eventually became a defense attorney. Mulder represented Darlie Routier in her capital murder trial.
He was a murderer! But his children will suffer for the rest of their life. I wish this could be taken into consideration. So now five lives have been destroyed and what about the grandchildren? I cannot imagine their unbearable pain.
So glad the kids lived with her mother after the murder. I never understand when the kids are given to the murderer’s family. That’s wrong. Glad he’s gone, but it took way too long.
I personally think anyone who takes another persons life intentionally should get the death penalty! There is no excuse for taking someones life and why should they get to life after they stopped someone else from doing it? A murderer is a murderer, they will NEVER change. They just need to change the law to where it says, if you take a life, then we are going to take yours. No, Ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Timothy Evans and Derek Bentley might have something to say about that... Colin Stagg could've also been on that list. Would Robert Napper have caused you to reconsider your beliefs? Would that have protected Samantha and Jasmine Bissett? What about Jean Bradley? What do you think about the convicted murderers of little James Bulger?? Where does taking a life not lead to _further_ taking of life based on perception of those who don't "get" your mindset?
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 I dont care if someone doesnt get my mindset! I said what I said and I meant what I said. IF someone murders someone they should automatically get the death penalty!

@@beccac6451 I'm just going to work on the assumption for a moment that you might not _really_ have meant that an accused individual ought to be entitled to a (so-called "fair" (even I don't believe in man made "justice", but for different reasons)) trial... Suppose somebody perceived that you had wronged them about a fairly trivial matter (or it could be serious), and that they thought, that you had somebody you didn't like... The first thing you're aware of, are police constables turning up at your front door, informing you that you're under arrest on suspicion of murder. Your fingerprints are taken, your DNA is taken, everything is taken. You're interviewed at the station and asked "where were you between the hours of 2am and 4am on Sunday night?" You answer "sleeping". You're then asked "can you prove you weren't at such and such an address at the material time the pathologist determined that the victim was murdered?" You say "I can't, I was sleeping, I wasn't using my phone, I had none of my householders/friends/family/associates see me, I don't know what was on television, I don't know what was going on in my local street" etc. etc. They then say, "we have two witnesses who say they saw you entering the premises of the victim", and another who noticed you leaving about 2 hours later " "We found traces of your DNA, and your fingerprints at the scene and on the weapon, we understand that your spouse had been having an affair with the victim"...do I really need to spell all this out? It's tiring explaining it all in great detail and requires the scantest degree of discernment to see where I'm going with this.
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 Well damn, if they found my dna and fingerprints at the scene of the murder then guess Im going to die right? Cause if my dna and fingerprints are at the scene and my husband was having an affair with her the chances are I must of did it right? How else would said fingerprints and dna get there? Your explanation made no sense. I don't know what part of this your not understanding BUT Im going to humor myself here and explain this to you once again. IF SOMEONE KILLS ANOTHER PERSON THEN THEY SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH THEMSELVES! I DID NOT SAY AT ANY POINT THAT SOMEONE WHO IS JUST A SUSPECT SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH. EVERYONE DESERVES A FAIR TRAIL. I NEVER SAID THEY DIDNT. I SIMPLY SAID NO ONE WHO TAKES A PERSONS LIFE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.
@@beccac6451 what I'm essentially alluding to, is that a suspect can be framed for a crime. Very meticulously in some cases. Likewise, some guilty culprits of murder can escape man made "justice" on various - although arguably valid - technicalities. It's very easy to transfer fingerprints say...from a glass tumbler, or DNA from the rim of a cup etc... It's very easy to rehearse, and then put on an act to the effect that somebody would swear blind, that an accused party is guilty (for whatever reason or reasons that may be the case). They can anticipate, anticipate, and anticipate to the nth degree, how a police interrogation and/or court trial may turn out, so that a conviction could be secured. Also, suppose somebody oblivious to the "convention" of {only} a select few people being permitted (by society or whoever it happened to be) to kill people, what would then happen to somebody oblivious to that convention, who mistakenly "honours" the executioner's example... Would that oblivious individual be subjected to execution as well?? Would they be deserving of death? And what if yet another oblivious individual comes along and encounters identical circumstances? And then another, and another... Why do you imagine executioners used to wear black hoods? Perhaps because they knew that inspired individuals, could end up being roped into it (no pun intended), if the circumstances dictated it. That's why I believe the only one who gets to kill people, is GOD. He can't be killed through innocent misunderstandings or red misted rage, but at the same time, knows even the tiniest inkling of your situation. As far as "fair" trials go, how do you know that somebody intending to frame another, hasn't thought through a mechanism which out-thinks the existing "justice" system? And what is the purpose of retrials, if an original trial is proclaimed as "fair"??

Keeping these monsters on death row for years and years and years while living off of taxpayer money and the victims slowly dying, waiting for justice to be served is horrendous and disgusting
Speeding up an execution isn't a good idea. All it does is increase the chances of killing an innocent person. The appeals process might be long, however it's necessary. Making sure that the person is 100% guilty is our responsibility as a developed democratic country in the 21st century. Many inmates have been exonerated and freed after it was later proven they did not commit the crime. If it wasn't for the lengthy appeals process, many innocent people will have been executed. So for anyone who says they should be killed straight away and do away with the appeals, read the above paragraph again and think logically. I sympathize with the victims families, often waiting a decade for the condemned to be executed. However if having a lengthy appeals process means that we only execute the guilty and not the innocent, then it is absolutely necessary. The man who says the appeals process "serves no purpose" has a fundamental misunderstanding of what an appeal is, of what Justice is and what retribution is. If you want to get rid of appeals, go live in China or North Korea where there are zero human rights.

I’m very sad for the children.
This is confusing, Robert fratta hired a guy to kill his wife, gunman got life in prison and fratta got death penalty. Rae carruth hired a guy to kill his pregnant gf, Rae got 18yrs and the shooter got 50. Carruth has already been released

The gunman is also on Texas' death row.

Or am I just assuming.... based on the stupidity of the comment? @@merle-wq9ir
Fratta, Scott Peterson, Jodi Arias are examples of people who appear 'normal' in most ways but are lacking the ability to experience compassion, empathy and reason, i.e., psychopaths. As terrifying as it is to most of us, this extreme abnormality is rather common. It's just that most psychopaths figure out ways to remain undetected. I've seen psychopathic behaviors virtually everywhere, albiet usually 'contained'. It just takes a certain set of events to push such people into deadly behaviors.

Judgement day finally arrives for Mr. Fratta. Justice delayed is justice denied - isn't that the phrase?
And he's gone.
0:04 “three decades”? This is the problem with the death penalty in the U.S.
In less than 7 hours, this man will not be breathing or walking the earth ever again.
Hard to believe and what a shame...
He had the looks and the charm, but made a horrible decision that cost him his freedom for 27 years and now his life.
Too many men think child support or supporting a family is the worst thing that can happen to them and that some of them are ready to kill over such a thing is astoundingly disturbing. (i.e., Fratta, Peterson, Watts, Abulaban, and countless others).
This should be a lesson to all men: if you don't want to support children with your hard-earned money or risk a divorce, then don't get married and have kids.
Travel the world, spend all of your money on yourselves, and have all the sexual liaisons you want without bringing a woman and child into it all. Children deserve loving, dedicated, responsible, selfless fathers.
👍 Choose your love, and love your choice. If you don't want commitment, don't commit; but once you give your word, you're honour bound to keep it. ☮️

This reminds me of another case Ray Curruth, a football player who was found guilty of hiring a hit man to kill the mother of his unborn child. He got released back in 2018. His child ended up surviving but had many impairments. I will never understand how our justice system works. One guy who committed virtually the same crime yet gets to walk away scott free while another gets the death penalty. The Ray Curruth guy was actually directly involved in the murder where he took her to the movies and told her to follow him back to her house, but they never made it to his house because while she followed him a car pulled up beside her and shot into her vehicle while he stayed there basically blocking her in. In my opinion, that guy deserved the death penalty too... But hey thats another case.
Why wasnt it a DP trial? I don't know the case but did the state this occurred in have the DP.?
idk what happened in that case. I dont live in the USA so will have to research it. Agree - it's
often not fair though, it sounds terrible...
This is exactly what bothers me. It seems so arbitrary.
Rich and powerful are executed too? In America? Smile
The law is what ever your state prosecutor has the time or conviction for to uphold in court and whatever your local police force wants to enforce. That simple and that arbitrary.
Why does it take 30 years for this animal to be put to death?????

3 decades on death row. This should never happen.
30 years on Death Row? WTF? That is ridiculous.
It’s unfortunately not uncommon. Prisoners are entitled to appeals. I’m pretty sure average stay on death row is atleast 10-15 years don’t quote me. The night stalker remember him? He died in prison but was on Death row for well over 20 years.
@@derek_3054 Thx !!!
I've been asking the same question, WHY do those accused of murder remain in jail for sometimes decades??? They have a bed to sleep in, food, possibly exercise, etc.? Humanity needs to go back a few centuries when the custom was they die when the verdict gets handed down! No appeals! That's NOT inhuman, that's their consequences for their choices!
People have been found guilty of murders and put on death row then were PROVEN to be innocent. Sometimes years and years later. Innocent people have been legally murdered because of the death penalty. For these reasons, there shouldn’t even be a death penalty.
@@mamapoch1915, I know it's hard, but people gotta understand this. Executing even one innocent person is totally unacceptable.
So true I was thinking the same thing! Many cases where people were even sent to prison for a crime they did not commit only to find out decades later that they were innocent!😵💫

Barb, this is over your educational/intellectual paygrade. You're gonna bust a gut.
Wtf does it takes sooooo long to exécuté someone who is obviously guilty beyond doubt ???????????????
Timothy Evans and Derek Bentley were "obviously" guilty as well...
You get appeals
They absolutely drag the family of murder victims thru the ringer with these death sentences that last 30, 40, 50 years. Legal loopholes that help the murderer avoid justice
i wouldn’t exactly say that a long stint in death row is avoiding justice.
man that would feel crazy. Death row is one hell of a way to go out. Imagine your life, every day for 30 years waiting for your fate to arrive
I pray for the children this man left without a mother yet they still love their father. Especially back then because they couldn’t understand what was going on. Dad was still dad to them. I hope they have peace in their hearts, though it would be hard to were it me.
Incredibly tragic.
The children of course are grown up now and would have much time to deal with this subject. I can't imagine they could share any lasting love for their father given his cold blooded premeditated actions to have their mother killed. They would have learned what a monster their father was and hopefully have come to terms with that by now. It is my hope that they have forged their own identities as good socially responsible adults through the love and kindness of relatives or other positive caregivers.
Fratta and Scott Peterson come from same mold.
Fratta was always concerned with his looks: he's never looked better than when he was dead .
LOL this guy's been on death row my entire life. That's ridiculous.
If you get the death penalty it should be carried out ASAP. I don't understand why the system keeps these murderers alive for decades. The victim or their families don't get all that extra time.
I know right damn!
For the tax money we pay
Well there was no stay and he was indeed executed today
Yup our tax dollars are feeding these monsters.
If this were Russia they would of taken him out back the courthouse at the first guilty verdict and be done with it.
If it were China his organs would have been donated to law abiding citizens and he be in a dumpster.
maybe the appeals court shouldn't take so long
also sometimes they lie to the jury and get innocent people
I’m not really in favour of the death penalty. But I won’t be losing any sleep.
Why did it take 30 years?
Bro I was just watching the American Justice episode about this case 😳
Laws need to change asap. If you get the death penalty you should be dead in a matter of 3-6 months. Just enough time to file paperwork & get everything ready. WTH? Use all that money to help people that needs it instead of wasting it on murderers. Insane
Innocent people also get wrongly convicted and we must a.low time for justice to prevail
His poor wife. Sorry but why 30 years on death row? Your ability to appeal should end after 5 years. If they get to live for 30 years, even in isolation what is the point of death row.
So he gets the death penalty but the parkland shooter doesn’t? Our justice system is a joke.
30 years on death row? Ridiculous.
if he's living out his life what's the point
Why was the confession unlawful? The conversations while in jail should be able to be used. There is no privacy issue there. Inmates know phonecalls are recorded.
Thank goodness. Hurry up and get it done
It’s mind blowing that people wouldn’t think their phone call from jail was being recorded
Sounds a bit like a set up...
Why does it take 30 years for the execution to take place?
Guess who's not getting a Father's Day card.
There is no reason for a death row inmate to be in prison for 3 decades. Thats not justice for the victim.
Looking up Texas law, attorneys get $3,500 per appeal in capital cases. The lawyers couldn’t care less for the criminal except the criminals are cash cows for them.

He was a murderer! But his children will suffer for the rest of their life. I wish this could be taken into consideration. So now five lives have been destroyed and what about the grandchildren? I cannot imagine their unbearable pain.
So glad the kids lived with her mother after the murder. I never understand when the kids are given to the murderer’s family. That’s wrong. Glad he’s gone, but it took way too long.
30 years on Death Row? Our tax dollars at work.
I remember when this happened..
Why does U Tube delete my comment, about justice being served.
I guess U Tube is with Bob F.
The reason they have death row is because sometimes people are actually innocent. They estimate 30% of people in prison are actually innocent..
I've known quite a few guys that were on death row, every one of them are/were evil predators
30%?
You are on crack.
The true estimate is less than 1%.

I personally think anyone who takes another persons life intentionally should get the death penalty! There is no excuse for taking someones life and why should they get to life after they stopped someone else from doing it? A murderer is a murderer, they will NEVER change. They just need to change the law to where it says, if you take a life, then we are going to take yours. No, Ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Timothy Evans and Derek Bentley might have something to say about that...

Cause trust and believe if they kill once, they will kill again and again and again. And why waste tax payers money to support them in prison?
@@beccac6451 I'm just going to work on the assumption for a moment that you might not _really_ have meant that an accused individual ought to be entitled to a (so-called "fair" (even I don't believe in man made "justice", but for different reasons)) trial...
Suppose somebody perceived that you had wronged them about a fairly trivial matter (or it could be serious), and that they thought, that you had somebody you didn't like...
The first thing you're aware of, are police constables turning up at your front door, informing you that you're under arrest on suspicion of murder.
Your fingerprints are taken, your DNA is taken, everything is taken.
You're interviewed at the station and asked "where were you between the hours of 2am and 4am on Sunday night?"
You answer "sleeping".
You're then asked "can you prove you weren't at such and such an address at the material time the pathologist determined that the victim was murdered?"
You say "I can't, I was sleeping, I wasn't using my phone, I had none of my householders/friends/family/associates see me, I don't know what was on television, I don't know what was going on in my local street" etc. etc.
They then say, "we have two witnesses who say they saw you entering the premises of the victim", and another who noticed you leaving about 2 hours later "
"We found traces of your DNA, and your fingerprints at the scene and on the weapon, we understand that your spouse had been having an affair with the victim"...do I really need to spell all this out?
It's tiring explaining it all in great detail and requires the scantest degree of discernment to see where I'm going with this.
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 Well damn, if they found my dna and fingerprints at the scene of the murder then guess Im going to die right? Cause if my dna and fingerprints are at the scene and my husband was having an affair with her the chances are I must of did it right? How else would said fingerprints and dna get there? Your explanation made no sense. I don't know what part of this your not understanding BUT Im going to humor myself here and explain this to you once again. IF SOMEONE KILLS ANOTHER PERSON THEN THEY SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH THEMSELVES! I DID NOT SAY AT ANY POINT THAT SOMEONE WHO IS JUST A SUSPECT SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH. EVERYONE DESERVES A FAIR TRAIL. I NEVER SAID THEY DIDNT. I SIMPLY SAID NO ONE WHO TAKES A PERSONS LIFE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.
@@beccac6451 what I'm essentially alluding to, is that a suspect can be framed for a crime.
Very meticulously in some cases.
Likewise, some guilty culprits of murder can escape man made "justice" on various - although arguably valid - technicalities.
It's very easy to transfer fingerprints say...from a glass tumbler, or DNA from the rim of a cup etc...
It's very easy to rehearse, and then put on an act to the effect that somebody would swear blind, that an accused party is guilty (for whatever reason or reasons that may be the case).
They can anticipate, anticipate, and anticipate to the nth degree, how a police interrogation and/or court trial may turn out, so that a conviction could be secured.
Also, suppose somebody oblivious to the "convention" of {only} a select few people being permitted (by society or whoever it happened to be) to kill people, what would then happen to somebody oblivious to that convention, who mistakenly "honours" the executioner's example...
Would that oblivious individual be subjected to execution as well??
Would they be deserving of death?
And what if yet another oblivious individual comes along and encounters identical circumstances?
And then another, and another...
Why do you imagine executioners used to wear black hoods?
Perhaps because they knew that inspired individuals, could end up being roped into it (no pun intended), if the circumstances dictated it.
That's why I believe the only one who gets to kill people, is GOD.
He can't be killed through innocent misunderstandings or red misted rage, but at the same time, knows even the tiniest inkling of your situation.
As far as "fair" trials go, how do you know that somebody intending to frame another, hasn't thought through a mechanism which out-thinks the existing "justice" system?
And what is the purpose of retrials, if an original trial is proclaimed as "fair"??
Little girl said "the bad guys put a bullet in my mommys head"

Compare the 911 caller for this situation to thay of the roommates of the college kids that were killed in Idaho. This woman here called 911 as the event was happening, and did not freeze up.

Speeding up an execution isn't a good idea. All it does is increase the chances of killing an innocent person. The appeals process might be long, however it's necessary. Making sure that the person is 100% guilty is our responsibility as a developed democratic country in the 21st century. Many inmates have been exonerated and freed after it was later proven they did not commit the crime. If it wasn't for the lengthy appeals process, many innocent people will have been executed.
So for anyone who says they should be killed straight away and do away with the appeals, read the above paragraph again and think logically.
I sympathize with the victims families, often waiting a decade for the condemned to be executed. However if having a lengthy appeals process means that we only execute the guilty and not the innocent, then it is absolutely necessary.
The man who says the appeals process "serves no purpose" has a fundamental misunderstanding of what an appeal is, of what Justice is and what retribution is.
If you want to get rid of appeals, go live in China or North Korea where there are zero human rights.
