The average time before a death row inmate is executed is around 16 years.

Except for Timothy McVeigh.

At his trial in 1997, a Denver jury found him guilty of conspiracy and murder, and he was sentenced to death. He was executed by lethal injection in 2001. Someone was in a big hurry to get rid of him?

He was in a big hurry, he waived all appeals and demanded execution rather than spend years on death row at a supermax. I think certain legalities might have been expedited considering the crime involved. His wish was granted.
