Public execution. Is it time to revamp the federal death penalty? Here's some suggestions.
Death penalty cases must go to trial within 6 months. If convicted, the person gets 1 appeal, within 3 months. If appeal fails, execution takes place within 3 months. Execution is by firing squad, or hanging, or guillotine. The choice is up to the convicted person. Execution is televised. Live. A 1-hour TV special. During prime time. On a Saturday night, because there is never anything good to watch on TV on Saturday night.
Immediate family members of victims to be invited to the event.
Commit a heinous violent crime? Be put to death and disgraced, live, within 1 year, in front of tens of millions of people.
