In situations like this where guilt is not in doubt, they are but the process is certainly not a joke for those who were wrongly convicted and later exonerated. Even those cases were guilt may have been in doubt all measures should be taken to make sure the government doesn't wrongly kill a person.
How does one determine that guilt is not in doubt? Isn't that what a trial is for? But innocent people get convicted so how do you know one is clear cut and the other isn't? Who gets the deciding power?
This isn't as easy as you think.

The appeal courts are the deciding power that is their purpose. Regardless of how guilty someone may be, they should get to exhaust all appeals before being killed by the government.
