I'm all for that process. I'd rather see 1000 guilty men tax the system for decades than one innocent man be put to death.

Except in Texas where the appeals process is short and the routes are limited.
I'd agree about the tragedy of executing an innocent person, absolutely. This was a cut-and-dry case and therefore many people have little problem seeing a monster like this put to death.
