Here's the story:

http://www.ky3.com/news/local/man-executed-for-rape-and-murder-of-teenager/21048998_35051426

This man kidnapped, raped, and murdered a 15 year old girl by stabbing her multiple times. He plead guilty and 25 years later, the death sentence was carried out.

Do you feel like 25 years in this case is too much time to carry out such a sentence? If not, please explain your position. If so, what can be done within our justice system to expedite such sentences in these cases?

I 100% agree. Personally, I don't understand why it took 25 years. Think about how much taxpayer money was wasted on this POS!

SSG Toryn Green you hit the nail right on the head. Why did it take so long to carry out his sentence?

Based on the news story, the State Attorney General is wondering the same thing.

Due Process and the Right to Appeal(s) - Even our convicted retain these rights. As I side-step discussion on the death penalty, I ask: What is the price of NOT having such rights?

Bah Bye. I am actually against Capital Punishment both Morally (Yes I have some not many Morals though) and from a purely Fiscally Conservative point of view. The Time involved though is a very good query considering how many cases have come to have proven false by the Innocence Project and how many at a later date after execution have proven to be Innocent. I think there should be a very long time to make sure that no more Innocent Men are Murdered by the State by False Information.

I can definitely see that, it makes perfect sense, however in this case, he plead guilty from the get go and never attempted to deny the charges in any way.

I think you are Very Right SGT Toryn Green but plenty of "Confessions" have turned out to be forced and false.
