This is why people are on death row for years. The forefathers of the justice system knew mistakes might be made, and give the convicted every opportunity to prove their innocence.
Aappeals on top of appeals.
I have a cousin, who should have been put to death 20 years ago. He was a member of the Outlaw Biker Gang, and actually admitted to killing several people, just for kicks. Yet, he still sits on death row, filing appeals, costing the taxpayers money, while his state appointed lawyers argue over comma's in a deposition.
