The cost is in the appeals process. My worry about removing that process is that we will kill innocent people.

Personally, I think if there is 100% irrefutable proof that the person did the crime, then we should have some kind of streamlined system so we can move those along fairly quickly. If it is not 100% certain that they did it, then we need the appeals process in place.
