The appeal system in the USA drags it out so long that they can live quite happily knowing it will be a good few years before they fry get the needle or whatever else they use. These people will live longer in the system than on the streets and they know it. If the person is found guilty and the proof is 101% then do it in a week. There may be times when its appropriate and under certain circumstances that it has to be done but let it be with no possible after effects. The scum kill scum senario is proberly true but any life is sacrid and shouldnt be taken. There cant be one rule for one set and one for another set as seems to be where ever you go.
