The only real way to fix it would be to expand the size of the justice system (or modify how it runs) so when an appeal is made it gets in front of a judge quickly and doesn't sit on the docket for months and months. Or limit the number of appeals and shorten the system which could increase the risk of executing an innocent person.
Personally, I think the way it should be done is that DNA evidence (as well as all evidence in general) is entered in every case no matter what. Neither side gets a say. This can speed thing up greatly since you won't have one side trying to suppress evidence and the other trying to enter it. Fights over DNA testing and allowing the results in court can drag on for years.
