'Ten years from the crime to the execution. That is a little improvement over the norm. Maybe we are catching up with the backlog. I would like to see it cut down to about six months.'

I'd like see it cut down to about six minutes.

Texas seems to be back on track for carrying out executions. We seem to be executing one or two a week now. We must have closed some more legal loopholes the defense lawyers tried create. What is really needed is for an execution to occur every day Monday through Fridays except holidays, somewhere in the US. At that rate the current backlog in the US could be completely cleared in about 20 years.

Also, we need to bring back public hangings in the courthouse square.
