....engrBob has my vote for executioner. It has always been my thought and I believe Planeflyer mentioned it as well recently...if there is enough evidence, trial should be short, execution should be fast. I think we need a 3 appeal max system. Solid evidence...zero appeal working its way up to circumstantial getting 3 shots. Maybe only 2. Saves money, time, and headaches. Don't do the crime if you don't want to be publicly stoned to death.
