I've only heard of a very few (maybe less than a handful outside of serial killers) of cases where I would actually advocate for it. As for the appeals process, it's overly costly, and, like medical care, it should be overhauled.I'm not sure how making an already flawed process cheaper would improve the process, personally. If I wanted to improve the process, it would probably end up costing more. As in, more expensive lawyers for people accused of capital offenses, and more resources at their disposal with which to make appeals. Killing someone isn't something to get cheap on. As to extraordinary evidence, we convicted and killed a man based upon extraordinary evidence a few years back in texas..we actually found out, before he was executed, the the "extraordinary evidence" was only extraordinary in that it amounted to witchcraft. We already maintain that extraordinary evidence and crimes are all that warrant the death penalty, and yet we have issues.

I know this wasn't aimed at me, but if some person isn't worth giving a shit about, why would they be worth turning our state into executioners for?
