There should not be any one who sets on death row for twenty years. I believe every case can be checked and doubled check in less than ten years.

In the old west it was a few days. I think the issue now days is the fear they might have gotten the wrong guy. But when it is as obvious as a case like this, there is no reason it should even take a year, much less 10 or more.

The capital murder trial of Yaser Abdel Said, a 65-year-old cab driver from Lewisville accused of murdering his two teenage daughters in a purported "honor killing," began Tuesday in Dallas.

Before she died, Sarah called 911 and told the operator, "Help, my dad shot me! I'm dying, I'm dying!"

Then this…

The death penalty is not an option in Yaser Said's case. If convicted of capital murder, he would automatically be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Even if they gave him the death penalty, he would likely still be appealing his case 15-20 years later. Maybe it is just me but I would rather be dead than sitting in a 6x10 cell for the rest of my life.

I just saw a documentary on this case on Amazon Prime. I guess he had not been caught yet because the documentary said he had disappeared.
