Process is problem with death penalty

People on death row are not there for stealing cookies from the Girl Scouts. The parameters for the death penalty are clear. Those opposed to it should work on that part of justice.

No, the people are on death row for killing or raping children, wives and grandmothers. The death penalty is the 100 percent guarantee that the guilty person will never rape or harm your children ever. They will never have a gun in their hands again. It's a guarantee you will be safe in your home.

The problem I see is death row itself. Once the death penalty is imposed, the guilty should have one appeal. The most highly respected judges are on the appellate court. If they hold that the verdict was just, in 24 hours the execution should take place. I like 100 percent guarantees.
