I wish Pennsylvania had that attitude. We have death row inmates who live out their lives...at taxpayer expense. 18 years on death row is a short time here.. Some have been on death row 30 or more years.
The last ditch appeal by Sacco and Vanzetti’s lawyers was that the seven years between conviction and execution was “cruel and unusual punishment.” That didn’t buy them a five minute delay. Sacco and Vanzetti were murdering scum, and lived seven years too long, and set a terrible precedent. Had they been tried and executed in Texas, no one would ever have heard of them, thank God.
