Yup, the time from conviction to execution can be years. This is due to the absolutely necessary appeals process. Just ponder, for a moment, how many innocent people were killed in executions before we had the appeals process we do now.

absolutely...its way more important that a innocent man its proven not guilty then the other way around...but the bad thing is that it allows even guilty people to get out with time...say they stall untill they find a "loophole" in the case like maybe a rascist cop or a bipolar witness or maybe a key witness dies during that time and they come up with something only they could object to, you know something stupid like that...the long wait works both way unfortunatly
Those aren't loopholes, those are reasonable doubt.
Which are loopholes if the person is still obviously guilty but gets off on a technicality that took years to find...lots of people lack common sense anymore so more and more guilty people are getting off for stupid stuff all the time...before I straightened up and flew right I got out a bunch of trouble because I simple knew how to manipulate people.
