    How come when people are on death row they are there for years?

    Why don't they go straight from sentencing to being deid?

    I think that Britain should bring back public executions.

    Can't beat an old fashioned hanging, lethal injection or the guillotine......

    Good question. It only takes a few seconds to line someone up and shoot them.

    The French only outlawed the guillotine in 1977 or something crazy like that.

    Exactly, so do it quickly so they don't have time to wheedle out of it.

    a humane, although messy, way of carrying out an execution.

    Sure, it would be almost instant, but people tend to associate it with years and years ago, I was just surprised that it hasn't even been 35 years.

    Lawyers lodge appeal after appeal and until they are resolved a person cannot be executed
