If they're known and I mean KNOWN guilty then I don't even want an appeal. All these cop killers for instance. And the guy that mowed people down at the Christmas parade last year. They KNOW he did it. He's now making a mockery of the court system. The guy that killed the retired police officer in St. Louis. All these school shooters. These are KNOWN guilty perps. They shouldn't have ever made it into the police car. Straight to the meat wagon and morgue. ...and mental illness be damned. If they DID IT, take um out. End of story.
