The process has already been significantly streamlined. It took very little time from conviction to execution in the cases of Tim McVeigh or John Malvo. In the past, the final sentence was often delayed by many years, even decades.

For the most part, I’m not a fan of the death penalty - there have been far too many cases, especially recently, of people wrongly convicted and later found innocent. But there are those handful of cases where the evidence is clear and compelling enough to keep it on the table.
