Anybody convicted of murder should be given only one appeal
then given a lie detector test along with truth serum.
If they fail either test, increase the amount of truth serum
until they are dead.
This might clear the very few people wrongly convicted and
might clear up some old murders and felonies.

Lawyers (Liars) will hate this idea because they couldn’t
make as much money off the tax payers.

2 appeals or 3 years, whichever comes 1st. then you die- simple.

I figure if DNA proof is good enough to free someone on “death row” in a month or less (like they have on the “Innocence Project”), it should likewise be good enough to execute someone in a month.

I'm all for Texas Justice, but I think as a practical and realistic matter, whenever the death penalty is imposed, ALL evidence should immediately be impounded and a federal panel of special investigators review it thoroughly. Too many Nifongs in the prosecutorial weeds to trust some sadsack's life to the likes of them.

A DNA test should ALWAYS be performed in capital cases, whenever at all possible, since it is far more conclusive than any other currently recognized class of evidence. This would cost a few thousands instead of millions and achieve the putative end of justice being done.

If a prosecutor, cop, technician, forensic "expert," or any other actor is found to have suppressed exculpatory evidence, as with the Nifong scumbag, severe imprisonment should be imposed on the perp. This reform would have a salutary effect not only on the individaul case but on the system at large.

It will never happen.
