Do I need to explain to you why our system is so much different than theirs? Because we value defendant's rights far more than they do. If we didn't, we WOULD live in a country that was more like China. Look at our Constituion. How many times do you see the Founding Fathers put shortcuts in the Constitution for law enforcement? How many times do you see the Founding Fathers make it harder to convict people of crimes? A system without these protections would fundamentally change our way of life. You say we should "restructure" our appeals process. Maybe we should just get rid of the Bill of Rights? Or the ex post facto clause? And double jeopardy protection? People take all these rights for granted until the government starts taking them away. Everyone innocent person who ends up in prison never thought it could happen to them. They know their government would never do something like that! I find it laughable that conservative people don't trust the government to do anything, unless of course they are waging war or prosecuting criminals.

I am not saying I am for the death penalty in every case, but in this case... he needs to die.
