Trevor MacDonald, ITV.
Been watching these, and I wondered, some can spend 50 plus years on death row, why do they have to stay that long under sentence of death?
Wouldn't it be fairer to carry out the Death sentence withing a shorter time?
I don't dispute that Daisynonna, of course that is a waste.
But throwing hundreds of thousand of dollars/pounds at it won't bring the victim back.
I'm thinking along lines of so many months to wait for an appeal, then carry out the original sentence, not sticking up for the accused.
Well, as the prog is predominately about Death Row, including showing the death gurney...I'm not sure I am confused.
I'll watch it again on catch-up, to make sure.
If this is the same programme I watched some time ago, the prisoners on death row have been sentenced to death, but the date of their execution has not been decided and some of them are there for years. According to Wiki the longest serving prisoner on death row was Gary Alvord who remained there for 43 years until he died in 2013 of a brain tumour.
