How the fuck is this even possible? Why is the Death Penalty

>>138669221

life in prison is a worse punishment than death sentence.

>For what reason?

Trial lawyers are scum and executions became a fucking a mess ever since the Death Penalty was reinstated.

The reason these cases drag out so long, OP, is that the death penalty is a political issue. So over time, proponents of the death penalty have given up a lot of ground regarding the actual carrying out of the death penalty, so that they could at least keep the death penalty on the playing field.

Example: An appeal of a death sentence is mandatory, and in some states, multiple appeals are mandatory.

Even if that weren't the case, a death penalty case is a huge deal for an attorney. It can make or break his career. Once the offender is sentenced to death, it probably doesn't take much convincing by the attorney that they need to explore every legal option available to overturn the conviction. Even if it takes decades.

So between the politics and the attorneys, it's become an overly-long process. I personally have no real problem with that, I'm not against the death penalty but it is a bit final. Best to be sure the person you're going to fry is guilty.

Because democrats are generally pretty big fans of children being killed. Adults not so much.

I've done time and yes it is worse. 25 to life will do alot to a person.

biggest problem with american justice is that prosecutors receive so much more funding than public defenders do

in some places public defenders do over 1500 cases per year with a shoestring budget, meanwhile prosecutors offices get tonnes of funding and paralegals to do bitchwork

basically we can never get real justice when the sides dont have equal funding let alone time to prepare. when someone has to do 5 cases a day or more you see why they tell clients to take plea bargains so much even when they may be innocent or have a chance

Because it is pure and simple kikery. Look at OP example. They knew the guy was guilty from day one, any delay fit his execution is an actual insult to the concept of justice

if we had a working justice system then we could just execute people immediately

give death row guys the best lawyer money can buy and then one appeal. if they cant beat the rap with that then thats as good as our imperfect system can get
