    Mitigate the amount of appeals convicts are allowed to have so they can’t abuse the system for decades hoping to find a loophole.

    Criminals appealing the death penalty don’t typically do so because they’re innocent, although I don’t expect you to understand or acknowledge this.

      How many appeals do they get currently? How many should they get? You said they typically don’t appeal because they are innocent, so what about the atypical cases where they are innocent?
