OK ... ... that , inhumane system certainly applies to OTHER nations - notably the United States - where it's common practice for the condemned to languish on Death Row for many years before finally being executed.

But it needn't necessarily happen here; in fact, prior to the abolition of Capital Punishment in in 1965, sentences were generally carried out within 3 weeks of being pronounced. Kaput! NO "mucking about" with innumerable [often pointless] time~wasting appeals.
