Why do we issue the death sentence on criminals and then wait however many years to execute them?
Be glad that it takes years. Would you want to be someone sentenced to death for a crime you didn’t comitt and be taken straighaway from your conviction to the death chamber and executed? I am not saying this happens often but every so often we screw it up and convict the wrong person. The time it takes for a criminal to be executed is the time it takes to exhaust all of their appeals. For some iot seems like it takes an eternity. Don’t get me wrong I am in full support of capital punishment but only if the right person is going to be executed. I would feel horrible if someone was executed who was really innocent.
