Given the finality of the death penalty, should those persons on death row be allowed to exhaust all possible appeals or should they be limited in the number of appeals to file? support your opinion (e.g., economics, time and effort of the courts, attempt to decrease frivolousness, the majority are guilty – factually and legally, etc). If applicable, determine the state’s stance on death row appeals.
The finality of a death penality: .these type of penlaties are given only on very extreme cases ,the judges or the panel of judges ,read/ think of all aspect of the crime, then only finalize & give such decesions. Any how , still the govt allows to appeal all posible ways to the convict to putforth.
There are two methods for death penalty appeals :
1) DIRECT APPEAL
2) POST CONVICTION.
DIRECT APPEAL
a) TRIAL COURT b) state appeellate court C) u.s supreme court .
POST CONVICTION
a) trial court b) state appellate court c) u.s supreme court d) u.s court (discretionary) e)u.s district court ( habeas corpus) f) u.s court of appeals g) u.s supreme court descretionary) This is the process of appeal.
My opinion , it depends on the act of the crime commited , before giving the judge ment at the first instance all the major factors are considered , this consumes a quite big time of the judge or the panel of judges even the money spend on other factors .it is aknown fact that the initial judgement in trial court taken is not reversed because all the points are considered before hand only..
