I guess to many it really means if they like or don't care about swift justice for apparent aggravated crimes !
We don't have swift justice in this country any more, every crime has two or three appeals and those for serious crimes usually have stay's of some sort plus a myriad of appeals, some death sentences do not even get carried out before the person dies in person of natural causes, thats not swift justice by any means of the name
I feel if the trial is questionable, they get one more or a stay until the reasons can be worked out, after that they either move on with the original sentence or another trail after which they are either reset with a new sentence, or if the original is given once again, they move right into that sentence being brought forth and completed with no new stay's or appeals !
Swift and complete justice for aggravated crimes would send a new message that one cannot go to prison and continue with living, while those who lost part of their family, have no way to reconcile their grief in the loss they share !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Iam for it 100% a former governor of illinois commuted 167 people on death row back in 2003.1 of those individuals waited in a couples house till they came home and murdered both of them then had sex with the deceased girl there was a mountain of evidence no ifs in this case.small town of about 400 people were in a uproar when the governor did this.just my 2 cents.

Sure, but if you're going to have it make it fast after appeals. None of this multi year bull...but prosecutors need to prove the crime beyond the shadow of doubt
In Cuba at sunrise the day after you're convicted you get a blindfold and wall to stand in front of. You get the death penalty for murder, rape, treason, drug dealing and armed robbery. The streets are safe in Havana all night long.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

the current standard is beyond a REASONABLE doubt.
you'd get a lot fewer convictions (meaning more guilty parties would walk away free) if you raised the standard as you suggested.
