The endless appeals process does NOT do that.

What in the blue blazes do you mean by "Next"??

Dude you did not at all respond to what was said.. It seems that everybody YOU think should be executed better get fried double quick.

What it sounds like is that you believe that the US judicial system IS infallible and therefore the first verdict is the correct one WITHOUT FAIL.

Ok let's say we remove all methods of appeal. How would YOU ensure whether a person is guilty or not?

the system of appeals is not perfect. But it is there because the first verdict is also not always perfect. So how about evaluating the SYSTEM rather than the guiding principle behind it. Th guiding principle is JUSTICE. That's why the concept of appeal exists. To ENSURE that the decision of the courts is JUST.
