One can always waive a right but there sure as hell better be a damn good and thorough psychological exam of the defendant or some other form of thorough competency examination.

Seems like the left wants to treat the death penalty the same way they treat illegal immigration. If enough time passes, the problem fixes itself? Don't deport illegal immigrants and they basically get to stay in this country as long as they want without ever becoming a citizen. Give a mass murderer decades to appeal their case and they may not ever be executed. Hopefully they just die of old age. Mission accomplished.
I'll agree when we make prison hell on earth. As it is now, they get better health care than some law abiding citizens.... For free. Since we are a nation of wusses and some want to pander to the criminals life behind bars, 'oh the poor criminal, sentenced to LOP needs comforts of life', I say execute asap.

how about ... prosecution has 4 weeks, defense has 4 weeks, 2 weeks to cross examine .... in 10 week, jury has all the information they need
1 appeal in case of new information
there - done ... if death penalty is given carry it out in .... 3 months time
people like Nikolas Cruz should be dead by now
Chris Watts, Scott Peterson, TJ Lane, etc. I could go on and on and not a single one of you could use the defense of 'what if they didn't do it, maybe they are innocent'. Everyone of these is 100% guilty and should have been executed within a week, after appeals are exhausted which should take about 1 minute each.

Right. But the problem is the law can’t pick and choose. If we eliminate the process for these guys then somebody who IS innocent might be executed.

Nobody has said any of this.
It's also not a left/right issue. Scalia would back everything I have said in here.

less and less in today's world of DNA, camera's etc and again, if they're 100% guilty like Cruz, why allow them 25 years on death row ?timschochet said:
can you give me one good reason Cruz is still alive today ?

For like the 25th time in this thread the due process rights extended to the wrongfully accused are the same ones extended to the very much guilty. And that’s with good reason.
