That may be true of your average criminal that ends up taking a plea
for jail time but when it becomes a capital case there has been plenty
of representation for these people for the last 40-50 years. Otherwise
you would not have a 20-30 year appeals process.

Personally I would like to see the appeals process speeded up. It is
not unusual that people eventually can be found innocent if you let a
case get this cold. Evidence disappears, witnesses die, memories fade
and it becomes a lot easier to get reasonable doubt, even for the most
guilty person.

There's an easy answer to eliminate doubt: eliminate capital punishment.

Then you bump up against the other questions I have asked and are yet
unanswered.

#1
Where is the proportionality if you get the same sentence for running
a pot farm and getting caught a couple times as you get for being a
professional killer with 20 bodies on you?

For that matter you can get life for running a stock scam, like
Bernie.

#2
What is the punishment for a lifer who keeps killing people in prison?

#3
Why shouldn't a robber just kill all of his victims? Fewer witnesses,
potentially the same punishment if he already has a record.

Countries more civilized than the United States have done away with
capital punishment.
