Answer to Question 1
Possibility of error, complex processing, and appellate delay are reasons the review process of a death penalty case is so lengthy. Because of the terrible consequence of a false conviction in a death penalty case, it is critical to determine if any error influenced the outcome of the trial. Also, the death penalty appeal is a very complex process and takes time to weave from one stage to the other. There is also appellate delay. Appeals courts are under case pressure and case overload. Appeals courts take a lengthy time to respond to a case before them. Federal judges tend to submit findings that are more extensive and better researched than is true of state appeals courts.
