As a general principal, I am again the DP, but not on any moral or religious grounds. I know the Criminal Justice system and know it is very fallible. To fallible to be entrusted with a life or death decision. But, I do make exceptions, for there are some really bad people that just need killing.
Our legal system makes implementing the DP a very long and expensive process. I would favor 30 days for an expedited appeal and if denied, one pistol shot in the back of the head should do the trick. The Russians don't do everything wrong.
