The system is INEFFICIENT. Typical government program.
Conviction, single appeal, death.
Less than one year, beginning to end.
Done.

Many death penalty proponents say part of the problem is that states have added unnecessary, time-consuming delays, and have been reluctant to carry out the death penalty that their own legislatures have enacted. They say states should carry out the wishes of judges and juries that weighed evidence and imposed death on the worst murderers.

If the states would follow through on the threat made, it would be far cheaper and probably act as a greater deterrent.
