Your line about no appeals scares me. What if the prisoner was railroaded by a community that rushed to judgment? What if they were framed? The appeals process is there for a reason, and is needed perhaps nowhere more than in the case of death-penalty convictions. It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL we ensure that we do not execute innocent people. Otherwise, our country is no different from any tin-pot third world dictatorship, where the law means nothing.
