Lindbergh’s son’s murderer was executed in under 2 years, including all appeals, from arrest to last rites. Progressives have taken us backwards in many ways.

Defense lawyers have twisted the law beyond recognition.
2 years?? Pffft...
In 1932 an assassin tried to shoot president-elect Franklin Roosevelt in Florida, he failed, though he wounded Chicago mayor Tony Cermak. Halfway through the trial Cermak died, so they switched midstream to a murder trial. The perp was apprehended, arraigned, tried, convicted and executed in 32 days. I doubt they would be past the press conference these days.
