Discussion Post1
How would you reform the capital system today? Throughout the capital system, I will provide more resources for the people who need more financial support for the American. I think it is imperative to be aware of the impact it will change in those communities who do not have the resources to the have the money.
Should it be limited to the most heinous offenses? No
Should there be measures to bring the cases to closure more quickly (the average case takes approximately 15 years)? Yes, I do believe most cases should have closure more quickly because of the amount of cases built up on the system. Some cases workers are not able to found the amount of evidence to move forward with the case.
What about the treatment of death row inmates pending their years of appeal? Most appeals are denied in the court of law because of their conviction and some appeals take years to process because of mandatory process they undergo.
